Question

There are six people on a bus. This is in total. At the first stop, eight more people get on. At the second, four get on and two hop off. At the third stop, the bus becomes practically full as 15 passengers get on. Four get off. At the last stop, 8 people get off. How many people are on the bus?

Just a fun problem for you :D
P.S. Answer it correctly ;)

Total: 6

1. +8

After stop 1, total is 14 people

2. +4, -2

After stop 2, total is 16 people

3. +15, -4
