Expanding Questions:
- What percentage of the animals in the zoo are adults?
- If 50 young animals are added, how many young animals will there be in total?
- How many more adults than young animals are there in the zoo?
- If 10% of the adult animals leave, how many adults remain?
- What is the difference in the ratio of adult to young animals compared to the total number of animals?
Tip: Always start by identifying which numbers relate to which operations (addition, subtraction) to simplify problem-solving!
