Answer 1

To find out how many students ride in a bus or car, we need to sum the values in the "Bus" and "Car" columns from the table for all grades.

From the table:

• For 10th grade:
  • Bus: 16
  • Car: 14
• For 11th grade:
  • Bus: 9
  • Car: 20
• For 12th grade:
  • Bus: 1
  • Car: 22

Now, let's calculate the total number of students riding in a bus or car:

Bus:

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

Car:

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

Now, combine the totals for the bus and car:

Total (Bus + Car) = 26 + 56 = 82

Therefore, the number of students who ride in a bus or car is 82.
