Senior classes high school A and high school B planned separate trips to New York City. The senior class at high school A rented and filled 1 van and 6 buses with 324 students. High school B filled 9 vans and 3 buses with 264 students. Each van in each bus carry the same number of students. How many students can a van carry? How many students can a bus carry? show work please
let van =v and bus=b V+6B=324 9V+3B=264×2 this will become 18V+6B=528 minus equ 1 from equ 2 -17V=-204 divide both side by -17 V=-204/-17=12 if V is 12 put it in equ 1 12+6B=324,6B=324-12=312 divide both side by 6 B=312/6=52 therefore the van and bus will take 12 and 52 persons respectively
