Write an equation and solve for x on Monday $449 students went on a trip to the zoo all nine buses will filled and eight suited to travel in cars how many students were on each bus?
Let's assume that each bus had the same number of students, x.
Since there were nine buses, the total number of students on buses is 9x.
However, 8 students suited to travel in cars, so the number of students on buses is also 449 - 8 = 441.
Now we can set up an equation and solve for x:
9x = 441
Divide both sides by 9:
x = 441/9
Simplifying the right side gives:
x = 49
Therefore, there were 49 students on each bus.
