The airport shuttle bus needs to take 65 people from the terminal to the parking garage. The shuttle bus can take 24 passengers on each trip. How many passengers will the shuttle bus take on its last trip?

17 passengers

Step-by-step explanation:

65 total

- 24 for the first trip =41

41-24 for the second trip= 17

So there will be 17 passengers on the last trip

16 passengers

Step-by-step explanation:

There are several ways to determine the answer to this question.  Here is one:

1) 65 total passengers - 24 passengers on the first bus leaves 41 passengers at the terminal.

2) 41 passengers left at the terminal - 24 passengers on the second bus leaves 16 passengers to ride on the 3rd and last bus.

step-by-step explanation:

through just a quick inspection, one can see that the graph of this cubing function starts in quadrant iii and ends in quadrant i.   when x = 0, y = 3, so the y-intercept is (0, 3).
