In a car park, there are 48 buses and motorbikes. If there are 134 wheels altogether, how many motorbikes are there?
Number of buses |

48 x 4 = 192 |

192 |
47 |
47 x 4 = 188 |
1 |
1 x 2 = 2 |
190 |
19 |
19 x 4 = 76 |
29 |
29 x 2 = 58 |
134 |
Total number of wheels if all the vehicles are buses
= 48 x 4
= 192
Big difference between the number of wheels between the buses and the motorbikes
= 192 - 134
= 58
Small difference between the number of wheels between a bus and a motorbike
= 4 - 2
= 2
Number of motorbikes
= 58 ÷ 2
= 29
Answer(s): 29
