It would take 13 buses to get everyone to the zoo
It would take 26 vans to get everyone to the zoo
It would be cheaper to rent buses
Step-by-step explanation:
The given is:
- A school is taking 388 students on a field trip to the zoo
- They can rent buses that hold 30 students for $895 each
- They can rent vans that hold 15 students for $450 each
We need to find how many buses it would take to get everyone to the zoo, how many vans it would take to get everyone to the zoo, and would it be cheaper to rent
∵ The number of students is 388
∵ Each bus can hold 30 students
- Divide the number of students by 30 to find the number of buses
∴ The number of buses = 388 ÷ 30 = 12.92
- They must to rent 13 bus to hold all the students
∴ The number of buses is 13
It would take 13 buses to get everyone to the zoo
∵ The number of students is 388
∵ Each van can hold 15 students
- Divide the number of students by 15 to find the number of vans
∴ The number of vans = 388 ÷ 15 = 25.87
- They must to rent 26 vans to hold all the students
∴ The number of vans is 26
It would take 26 vans to get everyone to the zoo
Let us find the cost of rent of the buses and vans to find which of them is cheaper
∵ The cost of rent of each bus = $895
∵ The number of buses = 13
∴ The cost of rent the buses = 13 × 895 = $11635
∵ The cost of rent of each van = $450
∵ The number of vans = 26
∴ The cost of rent the buses = 26 × 450 = $11700
∵ $11635 < $11700
∴ The cost of rent the buses < the cost of rent the vans
∴ The buses is cheaper than the vans
It would be cheaper to rent buses
