Question

On Monday, 414 students went on a trip to the zoo. All 9 buses were filled and 9 students had to travel in cars. Write an equation to find the number of students on each bus. Use b for your variable. Do not solve for b."​

Answer 1

Explanation:

let the total number of students in each bus be 'b',

Total number of students in 9 buses= 9b

Total number of students in cars= 9

Hence, Total number of students= 9b+9

= 414

Number of students in each bus = (414-9)/9
