You can put this solution on YOUR website! The state fair is a popular field trip destination. This year the senior class at High School A and the senior clas at High School B both planned trips there. The senior class at High School A rented and filled 8 vans and 8 buses with 240 students. High School B rented and filled 4 vans and 1 bus with 54 students. Every van had the same number of students in it as did the buses. Find the number of students in each van and in each bus
--------------
Equations:
8v + 8b = 240
4v + b = 54
------
Modify:
8v + 8b = 240
8v + 2b = 108
------
Subtract and solve for "b":
6b = 132
b = 22 (# of students in each bus)
-----
Solve for "v":
4v + b = 54
4v + 22 = 54
4v = 32
v = 8 (# of students in each van)
