To find the number of students on each bus, first find the total number of students who rode in buses. Six buses filled with students * 48 students on each bus = <<6*48=288>>288 students on buses.
Then, subtract the number of students who rode in cars from the total number of students. 300 students total - 288 students on buses - 12 students in cars = <<300-288-12=0>>0 students left.
There were a total of 288 students on buses, so there were 288 students / 6 buses = <<288/6=48>>48 students on each bus. Answer: \boxed{48}.
To find the number of students on each bus, you need to divide the total number of students by the number of buses.
In this case, there were 300 students in total, and 6 buses were filled.
Step 1: Subtract the number of students who rode in cars from the total number of students:
300 - 12 = 288
Step 2: Divide the remaining total by the number of buses:
288 รท 6 = 48
So, there were 48 students on each bus.
To find out how many students were on each bus, we need to subtract the students who rode in cars from the total number of students and then divide that by the number of buses.
Total number of students = 300
Number of students in cars = 12
Number of students on buses = Total number of students - Number of students in cars
Number of students on buses = 300 - 12
Number of students on buses = 288
Number of buses = 6
Number of students on each bus = Number of students on buses / Number of buses
Number of students on each bus = 288 / 6
Number of students on each bus = 48
Therefore, there were 48 students on each bus.
