Question

Which equation represents this situation?

A roller coaster can hold up to 38 riders on each trip. A total of 532 riders rode the ride. Every trip was full. How many trips, t, did the roller coaster make?




38 = 532t

38 + t = 532

38 = t + 532

38t = 532

Answer 1

4th option: 38t = 532

Explanation:

t = 38
?t = 532
14t =532
I don't really know how to explain this but basically, we know 1t is 38, so we know 38 x t will give use 532. This is why I chose the last equation of:
38t = 532
The answer would be 14 trips just for extra information.
