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**.
