Question

for a field trip 27 students rode in cars and the rest filled nine busses. how many students were in each bus if 225 students were on the trip

Answer 1

66 were on each bus

225-27=198

198/3=66

Answer 2

22 students in each bus

subtract the number who rode in cars from the total

225 - 27 = 198 ← number of students on buses

divide by 9 to find number on each bus

$\frac{198}{9}$ = 22
