Question
**Grad Night**

**1. Grad Night**

**a.** Two high schools are preparing to go to grad night. The first high school rented 8 vans and 8 buses for 240 students. The second high school rented 4 vans and 1 bus for 54 students. Assume every van and bus were filled completely. How many students fit inside of a van? How many fit inside of a bus? Write a system of equations and solve that system to find your answer. Show all of your work.

**b.** Suppose Fremont High School had 38 students to take to grad night. How many vans and buses would you recommend that they rent? Explain your reasoning.

---

*In this section, students will learn how to set up and solve a system of equations based on a real-world scenario involving transportation logistics for a school event. Students will gain practice in forming equations from problem statements and solving them to find unknown variables.*
