Question

For a field trip, 6 students rode in cars and the rest

filled 8 buses. How many students were in each bus
if 326 students were on the trip?
Let s represent the number of students on each bus.

can you help me solve it cause i’m so lost

Answer 1

(326-6) ÷ 8 = s

40 = s

Explanation:

326-6=320 This was done so we get to know the total amount of students in busses, since six rode in cars.

Then we divide the amount of students in busses by the amount of busses to get 40. 40 students in each bus.
