Step-by-step explanation:

Originally, there were 47 ducks. After the dog jumped in, there were 29. This means there were 18 ducks.

47 - 29 = 18

After the dog got out 5 groups of 3 ducks came. This means that 15 ducks came back.

5 * 3 = 15

To find the total amount of ducks, add the ducks together.

18 + 15 = 33
