Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. The total number of scouts is136. . Each bus has a capacity of34 scouts.
3. There are14 cabins and each cabin has4 beds.
4. All beds in the cabins will be filled.

STEP 2

First, we need to find out how many scouts can be accommodated in the cabins. We can do this by multiplying the number of cabins by the number of beds in each cabin.
$Cabin\, capacity = Number\, of\, cabins \\times Beds\, per\, cabin$

STEP 3

Now, plug in the given values for the number of cabins and beds per cabin to calculate the cabin capacity.
$Cabin\, capacity =14 \\times$

STEP 4

Calculate the cabin capacity.
$Cabin\, capacity =14 \\times4 =56$

STEP 5

Now that we have the cabin capacity, we can find out how many scouts will sleep in tents. We can do this by subtracting the cabin capacity from the total number of scouts.
$ent\, campers = Total\, scouts - Cabin\, capacity$

STEP 6

Plug in the values for the total number of scouts and the cabin capacity to calculate the number of tent campers.
$ent\, campers =136 -56$

STEP 7

Calculate the number of tent campers.
$ent\, campers =136 -56 =80$ 80 scouts will sleep in tents.
