On Monday, 412 students went on a trip to the zoo. All 8 buses were filled and 4
students had to travel in cars. How many students were in each bus?
Let s = number of students on each bus?

Respuesta :

Answer:

51

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of people in a bus. Since we have the total and the people in the car in addition to the number of busses, we can write an equation like this:

total students = (number of people in a bus) * (number of busses) + leftovers

Our equation we come up with is:

412 = s * 8 + 4

Solve

s*8=408

s=51
