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):

75×56=420075 \times 56 = 4200

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:

  1. What would the total cost be if the school needed 68 copies instead?
  2. If the school received a 10% discount on each textbook, what would be the new total cost?
  3. How many textbooks could the school buy if it had a budget of $6000?
  4. If each student needs 2 textbooks and there are 56 students, how much will it cost the school?
  5. 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.
