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 :)
