13. Additional Example 4: Writing a Word Problem from a Math Expression
Write a word problem that can be evaluated by the algebraic expression 27 + t, and evaluate the expression for t = 1.76.
Possible Answer:
Amed bought a new sweater for $27 plus sales tax t. If the tax was $1.76, what was the total cost of the sweater?
27 + t
= 28.76
Substitute 1.76 for t.
The total cost of the sweater was $28.76.
