All 136 students in the Math Club went on a field trip. Some students rode in vans which hold 8
students each and some students rode in buses which hold 40 students each. How many of each
type of vehicle did they use if there were 5 vehicles total?
Answer: 3 buses, 2 vans Explanation: let x be number of buses, y be number of vans, 136= 40x+8y 5=x+y Use simultaneous equation, 136-8(5)= 40x +8y - 8(x+y) 96= 32x x = 3 When x=3, y= 2
