This notice is inside a bus

Maximum number of passengers

Sitting = 62 Standing = 18

On the bus 54 passengers are sitting

and 7 passengers are standing.

The bus stops at a bus stop. No-one gets off the bus.

17 people want to get on the bus. Can all 17 people get on the bus?

• 62 + 54 = 116. Lots of room on the bus,

• 54 + 17 = 71 so no, too many people on the bus.

• 62+180 = 90 54+7 = 61 90-61 = 29 so yes,

• 8 sitting spaces and 11 standing spaces = 19 spaces available so yes, they can get on the bus.

Which is larger,

 $\frac{3}{10}\ \ \ or\ 25\%$  

• 3/10 = 0.03  so   25% is larger

• 3/10 = 0.3   so  25% is larger

• 3/10 = 0.3 = 0.30 = 30% so  30% is larger

• 3/10 = 3%  so 3/10 is larger.
