amusement park. The senior class at High School A rented and filled 2 vans and 14 buses with
294 students. High School B rented and filled 3 vans and 7 buses with 161 students. Each van
and each bus carried the same number of students. Find the number of students in each van and
in each bus.
A) Van: 9, Bus: 28 B) Van: 11, Bus: 27
C) Van: 20, Bus: 7 D) Van: 7, Bus: 20

Answer 1

D) Van: 7, Bus: 20

Explanation:

Add the amount of students together (455 students in total)

Then I added the amount of buses and vans together (5 Vans and 21 Buses)

Then I plugged in each answer

5 x 7 = 35

455 - 35 = 420

420 / 21 = 20
