Answer 1

Given:

A bus has 15 rows of seats. Each row has 4 seats.

So, a total of 60 seats.

At the first stop, 25 people get on the bus.

So, the number of occupied seats is 25 and the number of unoccupied seats is 35.

At the second stop, 3 people get off of the bus, and 12 people get on the bus.

So, the number of occupied seats is 34 and the number of unoccupied seats is 26.

Hence, a number of empty seats are thereafter the second stop is 26.
