Detailed Solution

Suppose there were F passengers initially

Number of passengers after first stop

Number of passengers after second stop

$\begin{matrix} = \frac{4}{5} (\frac{F}{2} + 35) + 40 = 80 \\ \Rightarrow \frac{F}{2} + 35 = \frac{(80 - 40)}{4} \times 5 \\ \Rightarrow \frac{F}{2} = 50 - 35 = 15 \\ F = 30 \end{matrix}$
