For a field trip 4 students rode in cars and the rest filled nine buses. How many students were in each bus if 472 students were on the trip?

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.

52 students in each bus
