Let’s solve each problem one by one, step by step.

Problem 1:
On Tuesday, Simon saw 18 birds on one tree and 14 birds on another.
So total birds on Tuesday = 18 + 14 =
32 birds
On Wednesday, each tree only had 7 birds.
There are 2 trees → 7 + 7 =
14 birds
Birds that flew away = Birds on Tuesday – Birds on Wednesday
= 32 – 14 =
18
✔ Check: 32 - 14 is indeed 18. Correct.

Problem 2:
Amy saved $30 → spent half → so she has $30 ÷ 2 =
$15 left
Her sister saved $40 → spent half → so she has $40 ÷ 2 =
$20 left
Together now: $15 + $20 =
$35
✔ Check: Half of 30 is 15, half of 40 is 20. 15+20=35. Correct.

Problem 3:
Josh picked 23 flowers, brother picked 17 → total picked = 23 + 17 =
40 flowers
14 died → so remaining = 40 – 14 =
26 flowers
✔ Check: 23+17=40, 40-14=26. Correct.

Problem 4:
Total students at school = 240
Students away = 50
Students at school = 240 – 50 =
190
✔ Check: 240 - 50 = 190. Correct.

Final Answer:
1. 18
2. $35
3. 26
4. 190
