Question

231 students went on a field trip. nine buses were filled and 15 student traveled in cars. how many students were in each bus? Write an equation to solve this problem

Answer 1

to find the answer try dividing the amount of students by 9 buses, with different numbers until you get a remainder of 15. (you might have to do it on paper, and use long division) i hope this helps

Answer 2

231 - 15 = 216
216 / 9 = 24 students per bus

(231 -15) / 9 = x
