The school can only seat 50 students on each bus. If the school is planning on taking 360 students on a field trip, how many buses do they need?

Show your work using the following elements:
- Independent variable
- Dependent variable
- Constant term
- Coefficient

so you would do 360/50 simplified you would get 36/5 this simplifies to about 7 and 1/5
so you would need 7 and 1/5 bus or 7.2 bus but you can't have 1/5 buss so you would need to make the 1/5 into a 1 so 7+1=8 8 busses neede

50x = 360 x is the number of buses x = 360/50 => 36/5 x = 7.2
Independent Variable: x Dependent Variable: 360 (or y) Coefficient: 50 (b/c of 50x) I don't see a constant term, sorry

The school needs 8 buses to transport 360 students, as each bus can seat 50 students. We calculated this by dividing the total number of students by the seating capacity of each bus. Since we cannot have a fraction of a bus, we round up to the next whole number.
