I'm so confused

At the beginning of the school year, the number of students in the band was the same as the number of students in the choir. Throughout the school year, the number of students in the band decreased by 8, and the number of students in the choir decreased by 4. At the end of the school year, the number of students in the choir was 25% more than the number of students in the band. How many students were in the band at the beginning of the school year?

At the beginning of the school year, _________ students were in the band
