Question: There are 48 passengers on the bus. Two-thirds of the passengers are women and the rest are men. If one-eighth of the men are standing, how many men are seated?
Answer: There are 48 x 2 / 3 = 32 women on the bus. So, 48 - 32 = 16 are men. Out of the 16, 16 x 1 / 8 = 2 men are standing. Hence, 16 - 2 = 14 men are seated. The answer is 14.

Question: Megan pays $16 for a shirt that costs $22 before sales. What is the amount of the discount?
Answer: Let x be the amount of the discount. We have, 22 - x = $16. We change the writing of the equation:. 22 - x + x = 16 + x. So, 22 = 16 + x. We then Remove 16 from both sides:. 22 - 16 = 16 + x - 16. So, 22 - 16 = x. So, the amount of the discount is x = $6. The answer is 6.
