Problema Solution
A group of students are going on a field trip. If the group takes 3 vans and 1 car,22 students can be transported. If the group takes 2 vans and 4 cars, 28 students can be transported. how many students can fit in each van?
Answer provided by our tutors
let
v = the number of students that can fit in one van
c = the number of students that can fit in one car
If the group takes 3 vans and 1 car,22 students can be transported
3v + c = 22
If the group takes 2 vans and 4 cars, 28 students can be transported
2v + 4c = 28
by solving the system of equations
3v + c = 22
2v + 4c = 28
we find
v = 6 vans
