Question

There are 221 students on a field trip.

Answer 1

Answer:

• See below

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of students is 221, out of that number 5 ride a van and the rest fill 6 buses with each taking s students.

This can be shown as:

• 6s + 5 = 221

We can solve this for s:

• 6s = 221 - 5
• 6s = 216
• s = 216/6
• s = 36

There are 36 students on each bus.

Answer 2

• Number of students = $226$

• Number of buses = $8$

Students traveled in buses:

$→226 - 10 = 216$

Number of students in each bus:

$→\frac{216}{8} = 27$
