For a field trip, 29 students rode in cars and the rest filled nine buses. how many students were in each bus if 551 students were on trips?

58 students were in each bus

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you'd have to subtract 29 from 551. This gives you 522. Then, you'd simply have to divide 522 by 9. 5 cannot go into 9 so we drag down the 2, 9 can go into 52 5 times. Then, you'll be left with 7, so you bring down the last digit, 2. 9 goes into 72 exactly 8 times.
