Question

ATH CHALLENGE

The seats on the right side of the
10
school bus seat two students each.
The seats on the left side of the school bus
can seat three students each. There are 14
rows of seats. Eight students can fit in the
very back seat. How many people can ride
the bus at one time (remember to count
every person)?

Answer 1

78

Explanation:

for the right side we can just do 14*2 since there are two people per seat and 14 rows

14 *2 is 28

for the left side we just do 14*3 since there are three people per seat and 14 rows

14*3 is 42

Then we have to add the 8 students that can fit in the very back seat

42 + 28 + 8

28 + 8 is 36

42 + 36 = 78
