Multi Step Word Problems

A multi-step word problem is a mathematical problem that requires more than one step to solve, often involving multiple operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division.

To find the total cost, multiply the price of each item by the quantity purchased and then add the costs together.

$40 (8 x 5 = 40).

Read the problem carefully to understand what is being asked and identify the relevant information.

Subtract the amount of money you have from the total cost of the item.

First, calculate the total cost of the items ($12 + $16 + $11 = $39). Then subtract your savings ($39 - $29 = $10).

Total cost = (number of shirts x cost per shirt) + (number of shorts x cost per short).

Calculate the total markers by multiplying the number of markers the first person has by 3, then add the two amounts together (8 + 24 = 32).

First, determine how much you have earned or completed, then subtract that from the goal and divide by the amount earned per task.

You need to complete 10 tasks (20 / 2 = 10).
