Answer 2

Problem Analysis

We are given that 32 passengers got off a bus, and the number of passengers remaining is 8 times less than the number that got off. We need to determine the initial number of passengers on the bus.

Solution

Let's assume the initial number of passengers on the bus is x.

According to the problem, 32 passengers got off the bus. This means the number of passengers remaining is x - 32.

The problem also states that the number of passengers remaining is 8 times less than the number that got off. This can be expressed as:

x - 32 = 8(32)

To solve this equation, we can simplify it:

x - 32 = 256

Now, let's solve for x:

x = 256 + 32

x = 288

Therefore, the initial number of passengers on the bus was 288.

Answer

The initial number of passengers on the bus was 288.
