Math Problem Statement

How many buses are needed to transport 300 people if each bus holds 25 ​people?

Solution

To determine how many buses are needed to transport 300 people, given that each bus holds 25 people, we can divide the total number of people by the capacity of each bus:

300 people25 people per bus=12 buses\frac{300 \text{ people}}{25 \text{ people per bus}} = 12 \text{ buses}

Thus, 12 buses are needed to transport 300 people.

  2. If each bus costs $50 to rent, what is the total cost to rent 12 buses?
  3. How many people can 15 buses transport if each holds 25 people?
  4. What is the minimum number of buses required to transport 450 people if each bus holds 30 people?
  5. If 3 buses are already full, how many more people can still be transported by the remaining 9 buses?

Tip: Always round up when calculating the number of buses, as partial buses aren't practical for transporting people!
