Question

8. Josh's bus can transport 36 students. If 75% of the seats are occupied each morning, how many seats are taken?

Answer 1

The bus can transport 36 students. That is, the seating capacity is 36.

So, if 75 % are occupied, it means, 75% of this 36 seats are occupied.

Therefore,

$\frac{75}{100}\times36=27$

27 seats are taken.
