5 large buses, 6 small buse

Question

A company has five large buses and six small buses. A large bus holds 11 more people than the smaller one. If the capacity of all the buses is 495, how much does each size bus hold?

Answer 1

First of all, your English grammar needs as much help as your math! Spelling, capitalization, punctuation!

Let L=capacity of large bus and S = capacity of small bus.

L = S + 11

5L + 6S=495

Substitute

5(S+11) + 6S = 495

11S + 55= 495

Subtract 55 from each side

11S=440
