Answer 1

To find out how many students ride in a bus or car, we need to add the number of students who ride the bus and the number of students who ride in a car from the table.

Here’s the breakdown:

• Bus:

  • 10th grade: 16
  • 11th grade: 9
  • 12th grade: 1
  • Total bus riders = 16 + 9 + 1 = 26

• Car:

  • 10th grade: 14
  • 11th grade: 20
  • 12th grade: 22
  • Total car riders = 14 + 20 + 22 = 56

Now, we add the total number of students who ride the bus and those who ride in a car:

Total students riding bus or car = Total bus riders + Total car riders = 26 + 56 = 82

Therefore, the answer is 82.
