Explanation:
We can
#color(blue)"subtract"# the 16 students who travelled by car from the total of 97 students.
#rArr97-color(blue)(16)=color(red)(81)# There were
#color(red)(81)# students travelling by bus.
#rArr"3 buses for "tocolor(red)(81)" students"# To calculate how many students were on each bus
#color(blue)"divide"# 81 by 3
#rArr81-:3" or "81/3=27# Thus there were 27 students in each bus.
