Question

halfway through a bus route, 23 students have been dropped off and 48 students remain on the bus. write an equation to determine whether there are 61 or 71 students on the bus at the beginning of the route.

Answer 1

48+23=71 beacause if there were 71 student then 23 left there would be 48 left on the bus

Answer 2

To solve you would have to do the equation 23+48 because there were 28 that were on the bus and 48 still on and both groups were on the bus at the start.
