Question

For a field trip 20 students rode in cars and the rest filled eight buses. How many students were in each bus if 340 students were on the trip?

Answer 1

40 students in each bus.

Explanation:

340= Students total on the trip

20= The students who rode in cars

340-20=320

8= The number of students that were in each bus

320/2=40

So, 40 students were in each bus.

Answer 2

40 students were in each bus on the trip.

Explanation:

Since 20 students rode in cars, subtract 20 from 340. This results in 320.

There are 8 school busses, so divide 320 student into 8 busses.

This results us in 40 students in each bus.
