Answer:

a) 33 students cycle to school

b) 132 students are driven to school

c) 55 students walk to school

Step-by-step explanation:

<h2><u>Finding the number of students that arrive to school by different means of transport.</u></h2><h2><u /></h2><h3><u> Question (a) How many students cycle to school?</u></h3>

<em>since 15 % of the students cycle to school :</em>

15% * 220 students

<h3><u>hence 33 students cycle to school</u></h3>

<u />

<h3><u>Question (b) How many students are driven to school?</u></h3>

<em>since 60 % of the students are driven to school</em>

60% * 220 students

<u>= 132</u>

<h3><u>hence 132 students are driven to school.</u></h3>

<u />

<h3><u>Question (c) How many students walk to school?</u></h3>

since the remaining students walk to school . <em>we can find this by removing the number of students that cycle and are driven to school from the total amount of students in the school.</em>

33 students walk to school

132 students are driven to school

the remaining students walk to school

= 220 - 33 - 132

<h3><u>hence 55 students walk to school. </u></h3>
