Respond to both parts by showing your work and restating the questions in your answers. PART A: If a bus can hold 48 people, how many buses will the school need to order for the trip? PART B: Each bus costs $125 for the day. What will be the total cost for all the buses needed on the field trip?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Total people = 180

A) Capacity of one bus = 48

Number of buses = Total people ÷ 48

= 180 ÷ 48

= 3.75

So, They need 4 buses

B)

Cost of renting a bus = $120

Cost of renting 4 buses = 120 * 4 = $480
