Answer 1

There were 58 students in each bus.

Explanation:

Total number of students x= 237

Number of students who travelled by car = 5

∴ Number of students who travelled by bus = 237 − 5 = 232

Presuming the buses to have the same capacity, and knowing that there were four buses, the number of students in each bus can be expressed as:

x =232 ÷4

x = 58

Answer 2

47 students

Explanation:

Total number of students = 427

4 students had to travel in cars.

So, the remaining students = 427 - 4 = 423 students

So, 423 students had to travel in 9 buses

Divide 423 equally over 9 buses

∴The number of students in each bus = 423/9 = 47 students
