287 divided by 7= 41 students per bus.

Answer 2

There were 41 students in each bus.

Explanation:

Consider the provided information.

304 students went on a field trip 7 buses were filled and 17 students traveled in cars.

We need to find How many students were in each bus.

Let the number of students in each bus is represented by x.

Thus the required equation is:

`7x+17=304`

Subtract 17 from both the sides.

`7x=304-17`

`7x=287`

`x=41`

Hence, there were 41 students in each bus.
