#therefore# There were #color(magenta)(54# children in each bus.

Explanation:

Let the no. of students in each bus be #x#.

According to question,

#6(x)+7=331#

#6x=331-7#

#6x=324#

#x=324/6#

#color(red)(x=54#

#therefore# There were #color(magenta)(54# children in each bus.

#54# students

Explanation:

If #7# of #331# students did not go on buses
then #331-7=324# did go on buses.

If the #324# students who went on buses were evenly divided among #6# buses
then each bus would have #324/6=54# students.

#54# students per bus

Explanation:

First, we want to start off by eliminating those #7# students that traveled in cars.

#331-7=324#

Now, we split up the #324# students in those #6# buses by dividing.

#324divide6=54#

#54# students traveled in each bus :)
