In a car park, there are 34 cars and bicycles. If there are 104 wheels altogether, how many bicycles are there?

0 |
136 |
33 |
33 x 4 = 132 |
1 |
1 x 2 = 2 |
134 |
18 |
18 x 4 = 72 |
16 |
16 x 2 = 32 |
104 |
Total number of wheels if all the vehicles are cars
= 34 x 4
= 136
Big difference between the number of wheels between the cars and the bicycles
= 136 - 104
= 32
Small difference between the number of wheels between a car and a bicycle
= 4 - 2
= 2
Number of bicycles
= 32 ÷ 2
= 16
Answer(s): 16
