To determine how many students were in each bus, we can first find out how many students rode in the buses.
Starting with the total number of students, which is 472, we know that 4 students rode in cars. Therefore:
\[ \text{Number of students on buses} = 472 - 4 = 468 \]
Next, since these 468 students filled 9 buses, we can find the number of students per bus by dividing the number of students by the number of buses:
\[ \text{Number of students per bus} = \frac{468}{9} = 52 \]
Thus, there were 52 students in each bus.
