Question

This year the senior class and junior class at a high school planned a trip to Disneyland. The senior class rented and filled 3 vans and 7 buses for 203 students. The junior class rented and filled 6 vans and 1 bus for 107 students. If each van seats the same number of students as did the buses, how many students in each van and each bus?

Answer 1

The problem is not worded properly but we can still solve it.

Assume each van seats v students and each bus seats b students.

For senior class: 3v + 7b = 203
For junior class: 6v + 1b = 107

Solve for v and b.
