Answer: 76 students

Explanation:

Number of students surveyed = 120

Students who 66 ride yellow bus= 66

Students ride city bus = 24

Students who do not ride a bus = 30.

The fraction of students who ride the city bus will be:

= 24/120

= 1/5

Since the total population of the students is 380, the qpproximate for the total number of students that ride the city bus will be:

= 1/5 × 380

= 76 students
