A bus is travelling with 52 passengers. When it arrives at a stop, y passengers get off and 4 get on. At the next stop one-third of the
passengers get off and 3 get on. There are now 25 passengers. Find y.

52=number

52-y+4

(2/3) (52-y+4)+3=25 ;; (1/3) get off, so (2/3) left

(2/3)(52-y+4) =22

52-y+4=33

-y=-23

y=23

52 started

23 got off

29 left

4 got on

33

11 get off next stop

22

3 get on

25

y is 23

Important when (1/3) get off that (2/3) remain.

Step-by-step explanation:

answer: no, but if it does it's a obvious pattern.

step-by-step explanation:

if a = 1,   and b = 2, then the answer is 47.99999999. if you round that to the nearest whole number, the answer is 48.
