What is a word problem?

A word problem consists of verbal sentences describing a scenario of a problem that will be resolved mathematically.

The amount of popcorn and drink Riley bought = $51

The price of each bag of popcorn = $5

The price of each drink = $6

The number of drinks Riley bought = 2 × The number of popcorn she bought

Let D represent the number of drinks Riley bought and let P represent the number of popcorn she bought, we get;

• 6·D + 5·P = 51

• D = 2·P

Therefore;

6 × 2·P + 5·P = 17·P = 51

P = 51/17 = 3

• The number of bags of popcorn Riley bought, P = 3 Bags of popcorn

D = 2 × P

Therefore;

D = 2 × 3 = 6

• The number of drinks she bought = 6 Drinks
