Question

complete the table to show the number of students for each number of chaperones.
chaperones (x) | students (y)
3 | 33
4 | 44
5 | 55
6 | 66
which equation represents the total number of chaperones and students when a bus is full?
$x - y = 60$ $x + y = 60$
$y = 60x$ $x = 60y$
the number of chaperones plus the number of students should equal 60.

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze the problem

We need to find the equation that represents the total number of chaperones (\(x\)) and students (\(y\)) when a bus is full. The hint says the sum of chaperones and students should be 60.

Step2: Evaluate each option

• Option \(x - y = 60\): This represents the difference, not the sum. Incorrect.
• Option \(x + y = 60\): This represents the sum of chaperones (\(x\)) and students (\(y\)) being 60. Correct.
• Option \(y = 60x\): This is a multiplication relationship, not a sum. Incorrect.
• Option \(x = 60y\): This is also a multiplication relationship, not a sum. Incorrect.

Answer:

B. \(x + y = 60\) (assuming the options are labeled with A, B, C, D where B is \(x + y = 60\))
