                Solution.                                                                 5 2

                Number of persons a bus can carry                = 52          ×          3 6

                Number of buses                                  = 36                 3 1 2
                Number of persons 36 buses can carry = 52 × 36                 + 1 5 6 0

                                                                 = 1872            1 8 7 2
