The teachers in a childcare center are taking their children for a field trip.if each bus takes 40 children, there will be 16 vacant seats. If each bus takes 36 children, 20 children will not get any seats. How many buses are there?

Answer 1

well, it's clear that if there is 1 bus, the numbers work out: 40+16 = 36+20

If there are more buses, then since LCM(40,36) = 360, any multiple of 360 + 56 will also work, with an extra 9 buses if 40/bus, and an extra 10 buses if 36/bus, for each extra 360 kids.
