Problem 1:

David bought 3 presents for his children. The prices were $25, $22, and $18. How much did he pay in total?

#### Solution:
To find the total amount David paid, we need to add the prices of the three presents:
\[
25 + 22 + 18
\]

1. Add $25$ and $22$:
\[
25 + 22 = 47
\]

2. Add the result ($47$) to $18$:
\[
47 + 18 = 65
\]

So, the total amount David paid is:
\[
\boxed{65}
\]

Problem 2:

At the animal park, there were 14 dogs, 12 cats, and 15 birds. How many animals were there altogether?

#### Solution:
To find the total number of animals, we need to add the number of dogs, cats, and birds:
\[
14 + 12 + 15
\]

1. Add $14$ and $12$:
\[
14 + 12 = 26
\]

2. Add the result ($26$) to $15$:
\[
26 + 15 = 41
\]

So, the total number of animals is:
\[
\boxed{41}
\]

Problem 3:

Billy made 37 cookies over 2 days. He made 15 on Monday. How many did he make on Tuesday?

#### Solution:
To find out how many cookies Billy made on Tuesday, we subtract the number of cookies he made on Monday from the total number of cookies:
\[
37 - 15
\]

Perform the subtraction:
\[
37 - 15 = 22
\]

So, Billy made:
\[
\boxed{22}
\]
cookies on Tuesday.

Problem 4:

Mary read 50 pages of her book in 1 day. She read 21 pages in the morning. How many pages did she read in the afternoon?

#### Solution:
To find out how many pages Mary read in the afternoon, we subtract the number of pages she read in the morning from the total number of pages she read in a day:
\[
50 - 21
\]

Perform the subtraction:
\[
50 - 21 = 29
\]

So, Mary read:
\[
\boxed{29}
\]
pages in the afternoon.
