Let's first figure out how many beds are in the cabins. Since there are 136 scouts and each bus can hold 34 scouts (136/4 = 34), all the scouts will fill the beds in the cabins.
If each cabin has a capacity of 20 beds (this number can vary), then the total number of beds in the cabins will be 4 buses x 5 cabins per bus x 20 beds per cabin = 400 beds.
Since all the scouts will fill the beds in the cabins, there will be 136 - 400 = 36 scouts sleeping in tents.
Ross is planning a camping trip for 136 scouts. He has reserved 4 buses. The scouts will sleep in tents or cabins. If they fill every bed in the cabins, how many campers will sleep in tents?
