Question and rationale: The question is: There are 50 passengers on a bus. At the first stop, 16 more passengers get on the bus. On the other stops, 22 passengers get off the bus and 5 passengers more get on the bus. How many passengers are there on the bus in total at the last station?
Step-by-step reasoning process: There are 50 + 16 = 66 passengers at first. Then 66 - 22 = 44 passengers remain. Since 5 more passengers get on the bus there are 44 + 5 = 49 passengers on the bus.

Question and rationale: The question is: Susan is playing a board game with 48 spaces from the starting space to the winning end space of the game. On the first turn, she moves forward eight spaces. On the second turn, she moves two spaces, but lands on a space that sends her back five spaces. On the third turn, she moves forward six more spaces. How many spaces does she have to move to reach the ending space and win the game?
Step-by-step reasoning process: In the first three turns, Susan has moved 8 + 2 - 5 + 6 = 11 spaces. Susan has 48 - 11 = 37 spaces to move to win the game.
