Question

The seats on the right side of the school bus fit two students each. The seats on the left side of the school bus can fit three students each. There are 14 rows of seats. Eight students can fit in the very back seat. How many people can ride the bus at one time (Remember to count every person)?

Answer 1

Answer:

79

Step-by-step explanation:

From Question, we are told that, there are 14 rows of seat with is divided into left hand side and right hand side

Seats by the right = fit two people

Seats by the left = fit three people

This means, 1 row of seat can contain 5 persons

The back seat = 8 people can sit comfortably.

Hence, the number of people that can ride the bus at one time =

(14 × 5 people) + 8 people (backseat) + 1 driver

= 70 + 8 + 1

= 79 people
