A Bus begins its trip with R occupants (including the driver).At each of the 20 stops three people get on and no one leaves if t
here are three times as many boss occupants at the end of the 20th stop as there are at the end of the fourth stop how many occupants did the bus have immediately after the 10th stop?Pls explain for brainlest A.12
B.24
C.30
D.42
It's pretty easy and hard at the same time just do not overthink it. Obviously, the bus leaves with R occupants including the driver but that still means that there are occupants, to begin with. Now remembering that 3 people get on each stop you can take it to multiply 3*10 (3 people, ten stops) you would get thirty. Would this be the answer? NO! Remember that you began with R occupants to begin with and either using the process of elimination or common sense you can conclude that 12,24 are improbable answers because they are lower than thirty, and what about thirty? No, because you had thirty people in addition to the original occupants so that eliminates thirty. What's left?
First you have to find 10% of 340.00 which is 28, so each week he saves 28.00 for his bike. To find how many paychecks he has to recieve you divide 340.00 by 28.00, which is 12.1, since there is a decimal place you have to round it up to 13 because it is a little bit more than 12 paychecks. ;)
