Question

In a school, 500 students are going on an excursion. They will be taken in mini buses. If 20 students can go in one bus, then how many buses will be needed by the school?

• A. 25
• B. 40
• C. 30
• D. 20

Answer 1

The correct option is A 25

Total number of students=500
Number of students taken in one mini bus=20
=> Number of mini buses required
= 500 $÷$ 20

$$\begin{array}{c}25\\ 20500\\ -\underset{–}{40}2\\ 100\\ -\underset{–}{100}\\ 0\end{array}$$

Thus, the school requires 25 minibuses.
