Question

41. A school bus starts with full strength of 60 students. It drops some students at the
first bus stop. At the second bus stop, twice the number of students get down from the
bus. 6 students get down at the third bus stop and the number of students remaining in
the bus is only 3. How many students got down at the first stop?​

Answer 1

Answer:

17 students got down at the first bus stop.

Step-by-step explanation:

No of students = 60

Let the number students who got down at first bus stop be x

x + 2x + 6 + 3 = 60

3x + 9 = 60

3x = 51

x = 17
