Answer 1

 265
-  15
______
250 (number of students that went on buses)

250/5=50

50 students were in each bus.

Answer 2

50 students were on each bus. 265 students total minus the 15 in cars equals 250, you then divide the number of buses which is 5 by the total number of students that are only going by bus which is 250, Step 1. 265-5=250 step 2 250 divided by 5 =50 answer is 50 students per bus.
