1) 23 becomes 20, and 18 becomes 20. 20 + 20 = 40 points in all.
2) 14 becomes 10, and 36 becomes 40. 10 + 40 = 50 pages. 40 - 10 = 30 fewer pages.
3) 37 becomes 40, and 32 becomes 30. 40 + 30 = 70 children
4) 73 becomes 70, and 12 becomes 10. 70 + 10 = 80 cents.
5) 46 becomes 50, and 11 becomes 10. 50 - 10 = 40 people remained on the bus
