Answer:48

Explanation:

Total number of students=397

Students that travelled in a car=29

Let the students that travelled in a bus be represented by y.

Since 8 buses were filled, it will be 8y for total students

8y + 29= 397

8y= 397-29

8y= 368

Divide both side by 8

8y/8=368/8

y = 46

Number of students in each bus is 46
