Step 1
Write the ratio equation that can be used to solve the problem.
[tex]\frac{students\text{ that ride the bus to PPCC daily }}{\text{Total number of students}}=\frac{x}{\text{number of students in the maths class}}[/tex]Students that ride the bus to PPCC daily = 100
Total number of students = 480
x = number of maths students that ride the bus to PPCC
Number of students in the maths class = 24
Step 2
Substitute and get the required answer.
[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{100}{480}=\frac{x}{24} \\ 2400\text{ = 480x} \\ x\text{ = }\frac{2400}{480}=5 \\ x=5 \end{gathered}[/tex]Hence, the number of maths students that ride the bus to PPCC is 5
