I'm going to give you both answer and how I found it if you ever have to do this again except in simple steps not the common core steps

Step 1: 472-4=468

Step 2: 468 divided by 9= 52

The answer would be there is fifty two students per bus.

Hopefully I helped you and showed you how to do it too.
