# 331 students went on a field trip. Six buses were filled and 7 students traveled in cars. How many students were in each bus?

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

#### Explanation:

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

According to question,

$6 \left(x\right) + 7 = 331$

$6 x = 331 - 7$

$6 x = 324$

$x = \frac{324}{6}$

color(red)(x=54

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

~Hope this helps! :)

$54$ 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 $\frac{324}{6} = 54$ 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.

$324 \div i \mathrm{de} 6 = 54$

$54$ students traveled in each bus :)
