Question

write and solve a problem involving money that can be solved with a division equation and has a solution of 1,350.

Answer 1

Lauren is hosting a charity walk for an organization that donates notebooks to children who need them. Each notebook is $2. They make $2700! How many children can they donate the notebooks to?

2p=2700
2p/2= p (2 cancels out)
2700/2=1350
p=1350
Lauren can donate notebooks to 1350 children.

Answer 2

-- I have my eye on a real spiffy car that I want to buy.

-- It costs  $5,400  and it will only be available for 4 months.

-- How much do I have to save every month if I want to
buy the car just before it disappears ?

The equation is               (4) x (Monthly saving) = $5,400 .

Divide each side by 4 :            Monthly saving = $5,400 / 4

                                           There's your division equation.
