Question

A class of 195 students went on a field trip. They took 7 vehicles, some cars and some buses. Find the number of cars and Numbers off buses they took if each car holds 5 student’s and each bus holds 45 students.

Answer 1

Number of cars=3

Number of buses=4

Explanation:

Let the number of cars be x, and the number of buses be y.

x+y=7 (total number of vehicles) ---①

5x+45y=195 (total number of students) ---②

*each car holds 5 students, whereas each bus holds 45, which equals to 5x and 45y

From equation ①,

x=7-y ---③

Substitute ③ into ②

5(7-y)+45y=195

35-5y+45y=195

40y=195-35

40y=160

y=4

Therefore,

x+y=7

x=7-y

x=7-4

x=3
