Answer:

36 motorcycles

Explanation:

calculate
(3)/(5) of 80

=
(3)/(5) × 80 ( cancel 5 and 80 by 5 )

= 3 × 16 = 48

there are 48 motorcycles and buses

let x be the number of buses then 3x is the number of motorcycles , then

x + 3x = 48

4x = 48 ( divide both sides by 4 )

x = 12

number of motorcycles = 3x = 3 × 12 = 36
