Question: 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?
Answer: 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. The answer is 49.
[Question]John's dog has a litter of 8 puppies. He gives away half of them. He keeps one of the remaining puppies. He then takes the remaining puppies and sells them each for $600. He had to give the owner of the stud $300. How much money does he profit?
[Answer]He had 8 / 2 = 4 left after giving some puppies away. He then keeps one so he sells 4 - 1 = 3 puppies. That means he made 3 * 600 = $1800. So his profit was 1800 - 300 = $1500. The answer is 1500.
Q: Janet counts 30 crows on the powerlines and 60% more hawks than crows. How many birds does she count total?
A: First find how many more hawks than crows there are: 60% * 30 crows = 18 crows. Then add that number to the number of crows to find the total number of hawks: 18 crows + 30 crows = 48 crows. Then add the number of crows to the number of hawks to find the total number of birds: 48 crows + 30 crows = 78 crows. The answer is 78.
Question: The difference between the number of boys and girls in a tree planting event is 400. If there are 600 boys at the event, and the number of girls is more than the number of boys, what's 60% of the total number of boys and girls at the event?
Answer: If there are 600 boys at the event, and the difference between boys and girls is 400, there are 600 + 400 = 1000 girls. The total number of boys and girls at the event is 1000 + 600 = 1600. 60% of the total number of boys and girls at the event is 60 / 100 * 1600 = 960. The answer is 960.
[Question]Collin learned that he could earn $0.25 per aluminum can that he brought into the recycling center. He found 12 cans at home and three times as many at his grandparents' house.  His neighbor gave him 46. His dad brought home 250 cans from the office. His dad told him he could keep the money from the cans he brought home from the office if he promised to put half of his entire amount collected into savings. How much money would Collin have to put into savings?
[Answer]He found 12 and his grandparents gave him three times that amount so he got 12 * 3 = 36 cans from his grandparents. All total he collected 12 cans, the 36 from his grandparents, 46 from the neighbor and 250 from his dad for a total of 12 + 36 + 46 + 250 = 344 cans. Each can is worth $0.25 so .25 * 344 = $86.00. He agreed to put half of the $86 earned into savings so he will save 86 / 2 = $43.00. The answer is 43.
