Question

A school conference room can seat a maximum of 103 people. The principal and two counselors need to meet with the school's student athletes to discuss eligibility requirements. If each student must bring a parent with them, what is the maximum number of students that can attend each meeting?

Answer 1

Answer: 50

Explanation:

Given

There are maximum of 103 people in room and principal and 2 counselor need to discuss eligibility requirements.

If each student must bring a parent with them

No of seats left after principal and 2 counselor occupied the seats are 103-3=100

A student and parent occupies at least 2 seats. For maximum students, only one parent is feasible.

So, maximum no of students are

`\Rightarrow (100)/(2)=50`
