Problema Solution
A company uses two vans to transport workers from a free parking lot to the workplace between 7:00 and 9:00 a.m. One van has 6 more seats than the other. The smaller van makes two trips every mornig while the larger one makes only one trip. The two vans can transport 57 people, maximum. How many seats does the larger van have?
Answer provided by our tutors
Let number of seats in smaller van=x and number of seats in larger van=y
Therefore,
y=x+6
And 2x+y=57
2x+x+6=57
3x=51
x=17
y=17+6=23
Number of seats in larger van=23
