    A bus holds 45 students. How many buses were taken on a field trip if 13 students travels by car and total of 320 students went on a trip?

    Find the number of students who went on the bus:
    Number of students who went on the bus = Total students on field trip - students who traveled by car
    Number of students who went on the bus = 320 - 13
    Number of students who went on the bus = 307

    Calculate the number of buses needed:
    Number of buses needed = Number of students who went on the bus / Bus Capacity
    Number of buses needed = 307 / 45
    Number of buses needed = 6.822
    We round up for a full bus to get 7 buses
