A class of 195 students went on a field trip. They took 19 vehicles, some cars and some buses. If each car holds 5 students and each bus hold 25 students, how many buses did they take?

Number of cars = 14

Number of buses = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x = number of cars

y = number of buses

x + y = 19 (1)

5x + 25y = 195 (2)

From (1)

x = 19 - y

Substitute x = 19 - y into (2)

5x + 25y = 195

5(19 - y) + 25y = 195

95 - 5y + 25y = 195

- 5y + 25y = 195 - 95

20y = 100

y = 100/20

y = 5

Substitute y = 5 into (1)

x + y = 19

x + 5 = 19

x = 19 - 5

x = 14

Number of cars = 14

Number of buses = 5
