A field officer is responsible for assessing whether five buses of 48, 50, 52, 44 and 46 seats, less a 10% reserve, can carry 214 pilgrims. Which conclusion is correct?
- No; only the two largest buses can be counted.
- No; the 10% reserve reduces usable capacity below 214.
- Yes; total capacity is 240 and 90% of it is 216.
- None of these
Explanation
Step 1: Total seats
48 + 50 + 52 + 44 + 46 = 240 seats
Step 2: Apply 10% reserve
Reserve = 10% of 240 = 24 seats
Usable capacity = 240 - 24 = 216 seats
Or: 90% of 240 = 0.9 x 240 = 216 seats
Step 3: Compare to pilgrims
Pilgrims to carry = 214
Usable capacity = 216
216 ≥ 214, so they can be carried.
Answer: Yes; total capacity is 240 and 90% of it is 216.
