Multi-step Money Word Problem 1
Talia is at the mall with her friends. She buys a DVD for
{$10.99}. Then she buys a new pair of earrings for {$8.25}.
Lastly, she gets her mother a bouquet of flowers for
{$9.50}. If she starts with {$50}, how much does she have

important numbers.
• Step 2: Ask: What is this question asking me to do? (How
much will Talia have after she goes shopping?).
• Step 3: First, add the total amount that she spent ($10.99
+ $8.25 + $9.50 = $28.74)

Multi-step Money Word Problem 2
Josiah is buying {5} packs of gum that cost {$1.50} each. He wants to share
his gum with {two} friends. He asks his friends to pay him for their share.
Including Josiah, how much does each person spend on gum?
• Step 1: Underline operation key terms and {bracket} important numbers.
• Step 2: Ask: What is this question asking me to do? (How much did each
person spend on gum?)
• Step 3: First, multiply the number of packs of gum (5) by the cost of each
pack ($1.50)
5 x $1.50 = $7.50
(5 x $1) = $5.00
($0.50 x 5) = $2.50
($5.00 + $2.50) = $7.50
• Step 4: Then, divide the total amount of the gum ($7.50) by the number
of people (3). One way to do this is to convert $7.50 into cents.
This gives 750 cents which we then divide by 3
750 cents ÷ 3 = 250 cents. We then convert the cents back into dollars:
250 cents = $2.50
• Step 5: Write the answer. Each friend spent $2.50.

from shoveling snow.
• Step 5: Write the answer. Todd made $50 shoveling
snow.

divide by 4, you are now dividing by a whole number:
$240 ÷ 4 = $60.
• Step 5: Write the answer. Spencer made $60 tutoring
math.
