Answer-

Part A-

School A would have 18 students in each classroom

Part B-

School B would have 26 students in each classroom

Part C-

24 students would have to transfer from school B to school A for the classrooms at both schools to be the same because then all classrooms would have 20 students.

Explanation:

Part A-

216/12=18

Part B-

104/4=26

Part C-

104-24=80

80/4=20

216+24=240

240/12=20

Hope this helps !!!!
