Answer:48

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of students=397

Students that travelled in a car=29

Let the students that travelled in a bus be represented by y.

Since 8 buses were filled, it will be 8y for total students

8y + 29= 397

8y= 397-29

8y= 368

Divide both side by 8

8y/8=368/8

y = 46

Number of students in each bus is 46

tom had a platter of chocolate wafers. he ate 5 of them and then gave his brother 3 he then moved on to his baseball team of 8 m

Aloiza [94]

Tom started with total 72 chocolate wafers.

Explanation

The number of chocolate wafers taken by 8 members of the baseball team are in the sequence : $1, 3,5,7,9,11,13,15$

The above sequence is arithmetic sequence with first term(a₁)= 1 and common difference (d) = 2

Formula for Sum of first $n$ terms in arithmetic sequence is....

$S_{n}= \frac{n}{2}[2a_{1}+(n-1)d]$

So, the Sum of 8 terms in that sequence....

$S_{8}= \frac{8}{2}[2(1)+(8-1)(2)]\\ \\ S_{8}= 4[2+7(2)]\\ \\ S_{8}=4(2+14)\\ \\ S_{8}=4(16)=64$

That means, the total number of chocolate wafers taken by the baseball team members is 64. Tom ate 5 and then gave his brother 3 chocolate wafers at first.

So, the total number of chocolate wafers at starting $=64+5+3=72$
