Question

How many buses are required to accomodate 14,700 passengers, if each bus can accomodate 150 passengers?

• A. 95
• B. 96
• C. 97
• D. 98

Answer 1

The correct option is D 98

Total number of passengers $=14,700$
Number of passengers in a bus $=150$

Number of buses required =Total number of passengers $÷$ number of passengers in a bus
$=14,700÷150$

Let's divide 14,700 by 150 using long divison method
$14,700÷150=98\text{R}0$
Hence, 98 buses are required to accomodate 14,700 passengers.
