Answer:

3.33% per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the A=Pe^rt equation. A is the end amount, so it's 1892. P is the original amount, 1700. E is a constant, around 2.72. R is the growth constant. T is the time that passed, 3 hours. You can substitute the givens into the equation and get 1892=1700e^(3r). Divide by 1700 to isolate the e. This leaves you with 1892/1700=e^(3r). Do the natural log of each side cancel the e and bring the exponent down. This leaves you with ln(1892/1700)=3r. Divide by 3 to isolate r. ln(1892/1700) is .1. .1/3 is .03333. Multiply by 100 to get a percent. 3.33 percent is your final answer.

Answer:

8 students in each van ~ 22 in each bus

Step-by-step explanation:

- Equations:

8v + 8b = 240

4v + b = 54

------

- Modify:

8v + 8b = 240

8v + 2b = 108

------

- Subtract and solve for "b":

6b = 132

b = 22 (# of students in each bus)

-----

- Solve for "v":

4v + b = 54

4v + 22 = 54

4v = 32

v = 8 (# of students in each van)
