Answer:
There were 52 students on each bus.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's break this down into an equation:
Total Students
=
Number of Buses
×
Students per Bus
+
Students in Cars
We have the following information:
Total Students
=
472
Number of Buses
=
9
Students in Cars
=
4
Filling this into the equation, we get
472
=
9
×
Students per Bus
+
4
Subtracting
4
from each side of the equation, we get
468
=
9
×
Students per Bus
Dividing each side of the equation by
9
, we get the final result of
52
=
Students per Bus
Thus there were
52
students on each bus.
