Question

It is estimated that 100,000 fans will attend a football game. Forty-two percent of them will not be able to park at the stadium, so satellite parking will be used. Twenty buses will shuttle fans from the satellite parking areas. Each bus can carry 70 fans. How many trips will each bus have to make to get everyone to the stadium?

Answer 1

The answer is: 30 Trips

Total fans = 100,000

The amount of fans that need satelite parking

= 100,000 x 42%

= 42,000 fans

There are 20 buses and each of them can carry 70 fans in one trip. So the maximum number of fans that all of them can carry in one trip:

= 70 x 20

= 1400 fans

Total trips that each bus need to take all fans to stadium

= 42,000 / 1400

= 30 trips
