20876
A school has 24 Year 7 pupils and 16 Year 8 pupils. Exactly 22 pupils use the bus. A report says that twice as many Year 7 pupils as Year 8 pupils use the bus. Can all these statements be true? If not, find the smallest change to the total bus count that makes such a table possible, and give one corrected table.
Hint
If the smaller bus group is one equal part, the larger group is two such parts.
