A school is preparing a trip for 400 students. The company who is providing the transportation has 10 buses of 50 seats each and

8 buses of 40 seats, but only has 9 drivers available. The rental cost for a large bus is $800 and $600 for the small bus. Calculate how many buses of each type should be used for the trip for the least possible cost. Let x = the small buses and y= the big buses.

<h2>The number of small buses used = 5</h2><h2>The number of big buses used  = 4</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume the total number of small buses needed = x

The capacity of 1 small bus  = 40

So, the capacity of x buses  = 40(x)  = 40 x

Let us assume the total number of big buses needed = y

The capacity of 1 big bus  = 50

So, the capacity of y buses  = 50(y)  = 50 y

Also, the total students travelling = 400

So, the number of students traveling by (Small bus + Big bus)  = 400

⇒ 40 x + 50 y = 400 ..... (1)

Also, the total number of drivers available  = 9

⇒ x +  y = 9  ..... (2)

Also, x  ≤ 8,   y ≤ 10

Now, solving both equations, we get:

40 x + 50 y = 400 ..... (1)

x +  y = 9  ⇒ y = (9-x) put in (1)

40 x + 50 y = 400  ⇒  40 x  + 50 (9-x)  = 400

or, 40 x  + 450 - 50 x  = 400

or, - 10 x  =- 50

or, x  = 5 ⇒ y = (9-x)  = 9- 5 = 4

Hence the number of small buses used = 5

The number of big buses used  = 4

Wazma bought some new pants, but the 34 inch inseam was too long. If he wants the inseam to be 3013 inches long, how much length
KiRa [710]

The length of the inseam to be removed from the pant is 3 2 / 3 inches.

<h3 /><h3>How to find the length to be removed?</h3>

The length of the pant he bought is 34 inches and it was too long.

He wants the length to be 30 1 / 3 inches long.

Therefore, the amount of length to be removed can be calculated as follows;

34 - 30 1 / 3

30\frac{1}{3}  = \frac{91}{3}

Hence,

34-\frac{91}{3}=\frac{102-91}{3} =\frac{11}{3}=3\frac{2}{3}  inches

Therefore, the number to be removed is 3 2 / 3 inches
