Lizzy: There were 50 fish in a pond and 3 times as many tadpoles. If Curtis catches 7 fish and half the tadpoles develop into frogs, how many more tadpoles than fish are there in the pond now?.
Me: Hmmm, let me think. I think this is the detailed solution:

There were 50 x 3 = 150 tadpoles. There are 50 - 7 = 43 fish left in the pond. There are 150 / 2 = 75 tadpoles left in the pond. There are 75 - 43 = 32 more tadpoles than fish in the pond now. Final answer: 32.
