Problem
Determine whether \(\text{one}\) \(48\text{-}\text{seat}\) bus is enough for \(42~\text{students}\) and \(5~\text{teachers}\) when \(\text{every}~\text{rider}\) needs \(\text{one}~\text{seat}\). Museum tickets cost \(\$12~\text{per}~\text{student}\), and the trip is Friday. Classify \(\text{all}~\text{facts}\) as relevant, irrelevant, or missing.
Big Picture
What this problem is really about
Frame this as required seats versus available seats. Count every rider—including both students and teachers—using the stated one-seat-per-rider rule, then compare that demand with bus capacity. Ticket price and trip day cannot affect seats, while the missing-information check asks whether every input needed for that capacity comparison is already present.
