Write a story problem using ten $100 bills, nine $10 bills, and twenty $1 bill
Sure! Here's a story problem for you:
Lucy and Adam decided to go shopping together with a combined total of $1,000. Lucy has ten $100 bills, nine $10 bills, and twenty $1 bills, while Adam has twelve $20 bills and seven $5 bills.
They went to a clothing store and bought a pair of jeans for $75 and a t-shirt for $30.
Question: How much money do Lucy and Adam have left after their shopping trip?
To find the answer, we need to calculate the total amount of money they had before the shopping trip, subtract the cost of the items they bought, and then calculate the remaining amount.
First, let's calculate the total amount of money both Lucy and Adam had before shopping:
Lucy had:
10 * $100 = $1000
9 * $10 = $90
20 * $1 = $20
Adding all of Lucy's bills together: $1000 + $90 + $20 = $1,110
Adam had:
12 * $20 = $240
7 * $5 = $35
Adding all of Adam's bills together: $240 + $35 = $275
To find the total amount of money they had before shopping, we add Lucy and Adam's totals: $1,110 + $275 = $1,385
Now, let's calculate the total cost of the items they bought:
Jeans cost $75
T-shirt cost $30
Adding the cost together: $75 + $30 = $105
Finally, we can find the amount of money they have left by subtracting the cost of the items from the total amount they had before shopping:
$1,385 - $105 = $1,280
So after their shopping trip, Lucy and Adam have $1,280 left.
