Question

: a total of 777 people have to be transported using buses that have 46 seats and vans that have 12 seats. calculate how many buses are needed if all the buses have to be full, and how many seats will remain empty in the vans if enough vans are used to transport all the people that did not fit into the buses

Answer 1

777 ÷ 46 = 16 Remainder 41

16 buses and the rest have to fit into vans

41 ÷ 12 = 3 vans remainder 5

we need 4 vans, so the number of empty seats = 12 - 5 = 7 

Ans: 16 buses, 7 empty seats in the last van.
