###Human: The swimming club went to a swim meet in another town. They took 2 cars and 3 vans. There were 5 people in each car and 3 people in each van. Each car can hold a maximum of 6 people and each van can hold a maximum of 8 people.  How many more people could have ridden with the swim team?, ### Assistant: The available number of people in each car is 6 * 2 cars = 12 people.
The available number of people in each van is 8 * 3 vans = 24 people.
The total number of people that could go with the team is 12 people + 24 people = 36 people.
The team took with them 2 cars * 5 people = 10 people.
The team also took 3 vans * 3 people = 9 people.
The team brought 10 people + 9 people =19 people.
The team could bring an additional 36 people - 19 people = 17 people. 
 So the answer is :  17
