Question

an elevator can carry 15 adults or 20 children at one time. During the course of a day, the elevator carries a full passenger load 52 times. if all the passengers were children, how many more people would the elevator carry then if all the passengers were adults

Answer 1

Explanation:

20(kids per ride) x 52(number of rides) = 1040. 15(adults per ride) x 52(number of rides) = 780. 1040-780= 260 more kids than adults.
