Q: There are 60 passengers on a bus. Children make up 25% of the bus riders. How many adults are on the bus?
A: 45
Step-by-step reasoning process: The number of children on the bus is 60 passengers * 25% = 15 passengers. The number of adults on the bus is 60 passengers - 15 passengers = 45 passengers.

Q: Micah has 7 fish in his aquarium. Kenneth has three times as many fish in his aquarium and Matthias has 15 less fish than Kenneth in his aquarium. How many fish do the boys have in total?
A: 34
Step-by-step reasoning process: Kenneth has 7 x 3 = 21 fish in his aquarium. Matthias has 21 - 15 = 6 fish in his aquarium. In total, the boys have 7 + 21 + 6 = 34 fish.

Q: An animal shelter recently took in twelve cats. The shelter already had half that number of cats. Two days later, three had been adopted. The next day, one of the cats had five kittens, and one person arrived to pick up one of the cats that was their missing pet. How many cats does the shelter have now?
A: 19
Step-by-step reasoning process: The shelter started with 12 / 2 = 6 cats. The cats they took in increased the number to 12 + 6 = 18 cats. Three cats were adopted, so they had 18 - 3 = 15 cats. One cat had 5 kittens, which increased the number of cats to 15 + 5 = 20 cats. The pet owner came to get his missing cat, so they now have 20 - 1 = 19 cats.

Q: Luna, the poodle, is supposed to eat 2 cups of kibble every day. But Luna's master, Mary, and her husband, Frank, sometimes feed Luna too much kibble. One day, starting with a new, 12-cup bag of kibble, Mary gave Luna 1 cup of kibble in the morning and 1 cup of kibble in the evening, But on the same day, Frank also gave Luna 1 cup of kibble in the afternoon and twice as much in the late evening as he had given Luna in the afternoon. The next morning, how many cups of kibble will Mary find remaining in the bag?
A: 7
Step-by-step reasoning process: Mary fed Luna 1 + 1 = 2 cups of kibble. Frank fed Luna 1 - cup plus twice 1 - cup, or 1 + 2 = 3 cups of kibble. In total, they fed Luna 2 + 3 = 5 cups of kibble. Thus, if the new bag held 12 cups of kibble, the next morning, 12 - 5 = 7 cups of kibble remained in the bag.
