Question

Today Sugandha is very excited. All the children of her school are going on a trip to Bhopal with their teachers. Ms. Meenakshi and Mr. Rakesh are talking about the number of buses needed.
Ms. Meenakshi — We will need 4 buses.
Mr. Rakesh — I think we need at least 5.
Ms. Meenakshi — Each bus has 50 seats.
Mr. Rakesh — Let us see how many children are going.

Class	Number of children
$\begin{array}{c}\mathrm{I}\\ \mathrm{II}\\ \mathrm{III}\\ \mathrm{IV}\\ \mathrm{V}\end{array}$	$\begin{array}{}\\ \\ \\ \\ \end{array}\begin{array}{cc}& 33\\ & 32\\ & 42\\ & 50\\ & 53\\ \mathrm{Total}& \overline{\underline{}}\end{array}$

• So there are a total of __________ children going.
• If they get 4 buses, how many children will get seats? _________
• Will there be any children left without seats?

Answer 1

• 33 + 32 + 42 + 50 + 53 = 210

So there are a total of 210 children going.

• Number of students that 1 bus can take = 50

Number of students that 4 buses can take = 4$\times$50 = 200
Thus, 200 children will get seats in 4 buses.

• Number of students going to the trip = 210

Number of students who get seats = 200
Number of students without seats = 210 − 200 = 10
Therefore, 10 students will be left without seats.
