Question

For a field trip 5 students rode in cars and

the rest filled three buses. How many
students were in each bus if 107 students
were on the trip?

Answer 1

The correct answer will be 30

Answer 2

Answer: 52 students were in the bus.

Step-by-step explanation: First, you start with the equation:

9x+4=472

Since four students rode in cars, you want to eliminate this part of the problem to find how many students actually rode in the buses.

So you would subtract 4 from both sides and get: 9x=468

Finally, you would divide both sides by 9 and get 52 students on each bus
