Answer:

Difference = 250 students

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total number of students be x.

Given the following data;

% driving = 30%

% riding = 60%

% walking = 10%

Number of students driving = 375

First of all, we would determine the total number of students.

Total = 30/100 * x = 375

0.3x = 375

Total, x = 375/0.3

Total, x = 1250 students.

Next, we determine the number of students walking;

Walking = 10/100 * 1250

Walking = 12500/100

Walking = 125 students

Finally, we would determine many more students drive to school than walk to school;

Difference = 375 - 125

Difference = 250 students
