A school district transported a total of 409 students and teachers to a zoo in buses and vans.

1 answer:

6 0

Answer: There are 385 students and teachers who rode to the zoo in buses and 24 students and teachers who rode to the zoo in trains.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Total number of students and teachers = 409

Let the number of vans be x

Let the number of buses be x+5

Number of students and teachers each bus transported = 55

Number of students and teachers each van transported = 12

According to question,

$55(x+5)+12x=409\\\\55x+275+12x=409\\\\67x=409-275\\\\67x=134\\\\x=\frac{134}{67}\\\\x=2$

Total number of students and teachers who rode to the zoo in buses will be

$55(x+5)\\\\=55(2+5)\\\\=55\times 7\\\\=385$

Total number of students and teachers who rode to the zoo in vans will be

$12x\\\\=12\times 2=24$

Hence, there are 385 students and teachers who rode to the zoo in buses and 24 students and teachers who rode to the zoo in trains.

Of those, only the 2nd choice correctly shows the third quartile, 61.

_____

There are an odd number of data points, so the middle one is the median. That value divides the remaining points in to two groups of 5. That number is also odd, so its median is the middle of that group. If we use x for the lower half and y for the upper half, you have
