The two-way table below shows the number of students in a school who have bikes and/or skateboards at home:

Question

Have Bikes Do Not Have Bikes Total
Have Skateboards 32 10 42
Do Not Have Skateboards 40 12 52
Total 72 22 94

How many more students have bikes than skateboards?
10
12
30
50

Answer 1

To find out how many more students have bikes than skateboards, we need to determine the total number of students who have bikes and the total number of students who have skateboards.

From the two-way table, we can see:

• Total number of students who have bikes: \( 72 \) (from the total row)
• Total number of students who have skateboards: \( 42 \) (from the total column)

Now, we can calculate the difference between the two totals:

\[ 72 \text{ (students with bikes)} - 42 \text{ (students with skateboards)} = 30 \]

Therefore, the answer is that 30 more students have bikes than skateboards.

So the correct answer is: 30.
