Sample Problem
15
x10
150 for 10 lessons
150
-85
$65 more money needed
First I identified the problem and wrote down the needed
information. Then I multiplied the cost for each lesson by the number of
lessons that she plans to take and got a product of $150. Next I subtracted
the amount of money that she saved from the total cost of the lessons and
got a difference of $65. She needs $65 more in order to pay for the
lessons
