All 245 students went to the zoo. Eight buses were filled and 5 students had to ride in a van. How many students on each bus.

Question

Need to create an equation to use to solve problem

Answer 1

245 students

245=8x+5 is the equation where x=# of students per bus

5 went in a van

245-5=240 students on 8 buses

240/8=30 students on each bus

245=8x+5

245-5=8x

240=8x

x=240/8

x=30
