Word  PROBLEM



            Look at the following examples to understand the concept of word problem:


            Example: Many bought a bag for `155                      and books for `2075           . How much

                           money did she spend?


            Solution: Price of bag                     =        ` 0155


                           Price of books              =     +  ` 2075


                           Money spent `2230 =                  ` 2230




            Example: Tom  bought  a  uniform  for  `934                   .  He  gave  the  shopkeeper  a

                           thousand rupee note. How much money will he get back?

                                                                  0
                           Price of the uniform =            –  `  934

                                                                   00
                           Money he got back           =        `  66



            Example: 25        students of class III went to see a zoo. The
                           ticket was `17       for each. How much money did                            1     7

                           they pay for ticket?
                                                                                                        8     5

            Solution: Price of 25 tickets              =        ` 17 × 25                          3    4    ×

                                                       =     –  ` 425                              4    2     5




                                              9
            Example: Celia bought   ice cream for her self and her
                           friends for `126      . What was the price of one ice                 9  1 2 6 1 4
                           cream?                                                                   – 9
                                                                                                       3 6
            Solution: Price of 1 ice cream =                 ` 126 ÷ 9                              – 3 6


                                                       =     ` 14                                        0
