Answer: 38 students walk to school

Explanation:

Given Information

Total number of students = 76 students

Total number of girls = 22 + 29 = 51 students

Total number of boys = 25 students

Number of students walking to school:

  • Boys = ?
  • Girls = 22

Number of students getting a ride:

  • Boys = 9
  • Girls = 29

Find the number of boys that walk to school

Total number - getting a ride

= 25 - 9

= 16 students

Find the total number of students who walk to school

Number of boys + Number of girls

= 16 + 22

=
\boxed{38\:students}

Hope this helps!! :)
