In a town, there are 8 scooters, 12 bicycles, and 4 cars. If 3/4 of the scooters are used for transporting goods, all bicycles are used, and 1/2 of the cars are used for school transport, how many vehicles are used?

Step-by-step solution

1. Find the number of scooters used: $8\times \frac{3}{4}=6$ scooters.
2. Find the number of bicycles used: all $12$ bicycles are used.
3. Find the number of cars used: $4\times \frac{1}{2}=2$ cars.
4. Add the used vehicles: $6+12+2=20$ vehicles.
