How many students age 15 and above take a car to school?

A. 18
B. 38
C. 50
D. 87



Answer :

Let's complete the frequency table step-by-step and determine how many students age 15 and above take a car to school.

We are given the following information from the table and the problem:
1. The total number of students is 360.
2. The total number of column totals are 152 for Walk/Bike, 110 for Bus, and 98 for Car.
3. The total number of row totals are unspecified for Under age 15 and 195 for Age 15 and above.
4. Under age 15 students who take a car: 60
5. Total students age 15 and above: 195

From the above information, we need to complete the table:

1. Calculate the row total for students Under age 15:
[tex]\[ \text{Row total for students Under age 15} = 360 - 195 = 165 \][/tex]

2. Calculate the number of students who Walk/Bike under age 15:
[tex]\[ \text{Walk/Bike under age 15} = 152 - 65 = 87 \][/tex]

3. Calculate the number of students under age 15 who take the bus:
[tex]\[ \text{Bus under age 15} = 110 - (\text{Total Bus travelers) across both age groups} \][/tex]

Finally, we need to find how many students age 15 and above take a car to school.

We are given the total number of students who travel by car is 98, and under age 15 students who take a car is 60. So, the number of students age 15 and above who take a car to school is:
[tex]\[ \text{Students age 15 and above who take a car} = 98 - 60 = 38 \][/tex]

Therefore, the number of students age 15 and above who take a car to school is [tex]\(38\)[/tex].
