let

number of students in each van = x

number of students in each buses = y

Therefore,

For the school A


5x+5y=160

For the school B


10x+5y=215
\begin{gathered} 5x+5y=160 \\ 10x+5y=215 \\ 5x=215-160 \\ 5x=55 \\ x=(55)/(5) \\ x=11 \\ \\ 5(11)+5y=160 \\ 55+5y=160 \\ 5y=160-55 \\ 5y=105 \\ y=(105)/(5) \\ y=21 \end{gathered}

A Van can carry 11 students

A bus can carry 21 students
