Question

2. Cornerstone High School has 1860 students.

45% of the students bike or walk to school.
372 students drive to school.
•The remaining students travel to school by bus.
How many students travel to school by bus?
a.651
6.837
c.1209
d.1443

Answer 1

a. 651

Explanation:

We first need to find the number of students that bike or walk.

We can do this by plugging the numbers into this equation:

`(is)/(of) = (percent)/(100)`

We know that the percent is 45, and we know the total amount of students, 1860, so we are solving for is.

`(x)/(1860) = (45)/(100)` where x = is.

To solve this, we cross multiply:

1860(45) = 100x

83,700 = 100x

837 = x

Now we know that 837 students bike or walk, and 372 drive.

We can calculate how many students travel by bus by subtracting these numbers from the total number of students, 1860.

1860 - 837 - 372 = 651

Therefore, 651 students travel to school by bus.

Answer 2

a. 651

Explanation:

To solve the problem, you can start by finding out how many students bike or walk to school by multiplying the total number of students by the percentage that bike or walk:

1860 x 0.45 = 837

Next, you can subtract the number of students who drive to school to find out how many students travel by bus:

1860 - 837 - 372 = 651

Therefore, the answer is 651, so the option (a) is correct.
