Question 912035: There are 43 buses in a car park. Some are super buses with 10 wheels and some have 8 wheels. There are 380 wheels in total. How many 10 wheel buses are there? Please show your solution. Answer by JulietG(1812) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! If all 43 buses were super buses, there would be 430 wheels.
There are only 380, though. 430-380=50
The difference between a super bus and a normal bus is 2 wheels.
50/2 = 25 normal buses
25 @8 wheels = 200
That leaves 18 (43-25) super buses @10 wheels = 180
200 + 180 = 380
