Math Problem Statement
Write a word problem in which the solution is between 4040 500 and you need to multiply a two digit number by a three digit number to solve
Solution
Sure! Here’s a word problem that fits your request:
Word Problem:
A school is ordering new textbooks for the upcoming academic year. Each textbook costs $75. The school needs to order 56 copies of the textbook for all the students. What will be the total cost of the textbooks?
Solution:
To find the total cost, you need to multiply the cost of one textbook ($75) by the number of textbooks needed (56):
The total cost of the textbooks is $4200, which falls between 4040 and 5000.
Would you like a detailed breakdown of the steps or more information?
Here are 5 related questions for practice:
- What would the total cost be if the school needed 68 copies instead?
- If the school received a 10% discount on each textbook, what would be the new total cost?
- How many textbooks could the school buy if it had a budget of $6000?
- If each student needs 2 textbooks and there are 56 students, how much will it cost the school?
- What would the cost be if each textbook costs $85 instead?
Tip: When multiplying two-digit and three-digit numbers, breaking down one number (like 75 into 70 + 5) can simplify the calculation using distributive property.
