I am not looking for an answer to this problem, I was just wondering if anyone could tell me what method I would need to work it.

Divide the amount of people and whatever answer you get, do not round it but rather think of it as..... say if you get 2.0000001, then the maximum is 3 because you still have the .00000001 left over, and its looking for the maximum. So the answer would then be 3.
If you rounded it, it would be 2 but that answer is wrong. So its like having 101 people and buses only holds a maximum of 50 people. The maximum # of buses need would not be 2 but rather 3.

To get answer in simple way just multiply
45(1)=45<105
45(2)=90<105
45(3)= 135>105 stop here the answer is between 3 and 2
and beacuse we are talking about min # of buses
the the final answer well be 3 bus
Have a good trip.

This is an old brainteaser.
The answer is 0 because all 105 people could
go by car!
Think outside the box!
We don't even know the trip is a school trip!!

Divide the number of people by the capacity of the bus and round up to the next whole number.
