Answer:

54

Explanation:

If you have 221 students going to the zoo and 5 that went to the zoo in cars you only need to account for the 216 travelling by bus. So you subtract 5 from 221 and divide what you have left over (216) by 4 for the 4 buses you're using.

216/4= 54

Answer:

54

Explanation:

If 5 students went in cars then 216 students were in the buses (221-5=216)

There were four buses so divide 216 by 5 which is 54.

So there were 54 students in each bus
