Chapter 4, Problem 30RP
Use a system of linear equations to solve each of the following exercises.
Transportation Logistics A church youth group is planning a trip to Mount Washington. A total of 127 people need rides. The church has available buses that hold forty passengers, and several parents have volunteered station wagons that hold eight passengers or sedans that hold five passengers. The youth leader is planning to use nine vehicles to transport the people. One parent said that if they didn’t use any buses, tripled the number of station wagons, and doubled the number of sedans, they would be able to transport 126 people. How many buses, station wagons, and sedans are they planning to use if they use nine vehicles?
