need help with the c++ basic concept project

Question

You are making a program for a bus service.
A bus can transport 50 passengers at once.
Given the number of passengers waiting in the bus station as input, you need to calculate and output how many empty seats the last bus will have.

Sample Input:
126

Sample Output:
24

Explanation: The first bus will transport 50 passengers, leaving 126-50=76 in the station. The next one will leave 26 in the station, thus, the last bus will take all of the 26 passengers, having 50-26=24 seats left empty.
I don't know what i missed or what im doing wrong please help!!!

This is my answer, please mention the errors if any occured in this program.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
int p;
cin>>p;
while(p>=50)
{ p=p-50; }
if(p==0)
cout<<p;
else
cout<<(50-p);
return 0;
}

No need to use loop here. You can just do in one line

50 - p % 50

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
int p;
cin>>p;

cout << (50 - p % 50);

return 0;
}

Answer 3

I think that's what the lesson wanted me to do I have a problem with overthinking it thank you again for your help that project was really getting the best of me

Answer 4

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;

int main() {
//your code goes here
int num,num2;
cin>>num;
if(num<=50){
cout<<50-num;
}else if(num>50){

num2=num%50;
cout<<50-num2;
}

return 0;
}

//each if statments explain the concepts
