. We're sorry about the hassle.
It's not to the nearest integer. Let's say we had 6 8 0 passengers.
3 5 6 8 0 = 1 9 . 4 3 to 2 decimal places.
The nearest integer is 1 9 but you would still need 2 0 buses.

He said nearest "greater" integer. 20 is the greater of the two nearest integers. Fail comment

@Jb Cunanan – Yes, I have time to check on all the problems I comment on to see if anything has changed. Thanks for the suggestion Jb.
This is so easy,689 + 11 divided by 35 is 20. so we nedd 20 bus with remained 11 seat
Can't we use half a bus?

No, we can't. Besides, the answer has to be an integer.
like what calvin says
689/35=19.68(20)
We can't have number of buses in decimal so there will be 20 buses with 11 remaining seats.
689 /35=19.685=20(round value)
689/35=19.6857143.Numbers of buses cannot be fractional.So they need 20 buses.

689/35 = 19.68 = 20 (to nearest greater integer)
