Question

Six teachers, seventy eight students, and ten parents areboarding buses for a school field trip. Each bus can carry32 passengers. If the passengers board each bus until it is full,how many passengers (p) will be on the bus that is not full?

Answer 1

We need to get the total number of passengers first.

# of passengers = 6 + 78 + 10 = 94 passengers

To find how many passengers will be left, we need to find the modulus when we divide the total number of students by bus capacity. This is:

94 / 32 = 3 remainder 30 or

94 % 32 = 30

Therefore, 30 passengers will be in the bus that is not full to capacity
