After first stop the number of passengers is : 52 - y + 4second stop: (52 - y + 4) - (52 - y + 4) * (1/3) + 4 = 25

so we have to solve : (52 - y + 4) - (52 - y + 4) * (1/3) + 4 = 25 at the second stop there was (52 - y + 4) passengersand you have been told that 1/3 of them get offso we have to subtract (52 - y + 4) * (1/3)
