Question

In jims class, 5 times has many students take the bus as those who walk. A total of 24 students walk or take the bus. How many more students take the bus than walk to school?

Answer 1

take bus=5 times walk
b=5w
b+w=24
sub 5w for b
5w+w=24
6w=24
divide both sides by 6
w=4

sub back
b=5w
b=5(4)
b=20

bus-walk=20-4=16

answer is 16 more take the bus than walk
