Answer:

62 + 64 + 55 + s = 242

61 students will ride Bus #4.

Explanation:

The equation I will use here is 62 + 64 + 55 + s = 242

62 + 64 + 55 + s = 242 {Going from left to right, subtract 62, 64, & 55 from 242}

64 + 55 + s = 180 {242 - 62 = 180}

55 + s = 116 {180 - 64 = 116}

s = 61 {116 - 55 = 61}

61 students will ride Bus #4.
