After loading c cars on the roller coaster, there are 6 people still in line. Write an equation to represent the number of cars, c, that have been loaded on the roller coaster. Solve the equation to find the number of cars on the roller coaster

Answer 1

Answer: 13

Step-by-step explanation: First you have to subtract the remaining amount of people from the total. 162-6=156. Then you have to divide the remaking amount, (people who went on) by the amount of people that can fit in a car to get how many cars are left. 156/12=13.
