Q: Karen works at an animal shelter with 30 dogs, 28 cats, and 20 lizards. Every month, 50% of the dogs are adopted, 25% of the cats are adopted, and 20% of lizards are adopted. If the shelter takes in 13 new pets a month, how many pets are there after one month?
A: First find how many dogs get adopted each month by multiplying the number of dogs by their chance of getting adopted: 30 dogs * 50% = 15 dogs. Then do the same thing for the cats: 28 cats * 25% = 7 cats. And do the same thing for the lizards: 20 lizards * 20% = 4 lizards. Now add up the number of each kind of pet to find the initial total number of pets: 30 dogs + 28 cats + 20 lizards = 78 pets. Now subtract all the pets that get adopted in one month from the initial number of pets: 78 pets - 15 dogs - 7 cats - 4 lizards = 52 pets. Now add the extra 13 pets the shelter takes in that month to find the final number of pets: 52 pets + 13 pets = 65 pets. The answer is 65.
Question: Jackson's oldest son gets 4 cookies after school and his youngest son gets 2 cookies after school. If there are 54 cookies in a box, how many days will the box last?
Answer: The oldest son gets 4 cookies and the youngest gets 2, so every day they eat 4 + 2 = 6 cookies. There are 54 cookies in a box and the boys eat 6 cookies a day, so the box will last 54 / 6 = 9 days. The answer is 9.

Q: Connie redeemed all her arcade tickets today. She spent half of them on a stuffed koala bear. She spent 10 tickets on a pair of earbuds. She spent another 15 tickets on glow bracelets. How many tickets did Connie redeem today?
A: Connie spent 10 tickets on earbuds + 15 tickets on glow bracelets = 25 tickets. Since Connie spends half of her tickets on a stuffed koala bear, that means the 25 tickets she spent on earbuds and glow bracelets is the other half, so she spent 25 tickets on the stuffed koala bear. In all, Connie spent 25 tickets on earbuds and glow bracelets + 25 tickets on a stuffed koala bear = 50 tickets. The answer is 50.
