Unit 39 Word Problems Using Whole Numbers and Decimals

1. One uniform costs $59.95. What would uniforms for 25 players and 5 coaches cost?

Unknown: Solution:
total cost uniforms needed = 25 + 5 = 30
total cost = (price){quantity)
Given:
= ($59.95 )(30)
cost per uniform = $59.95
number of players = 25
number of coaches = 5 [ = $1,798.50 I
This answer makes sense because it is close to
the approximate answer of ($60)(30) = $1,800.

2. A family spent $58.55, $68.04, and $78.82 weekly for groceries.


Calculate their average weekly spending for groceries.

Unknown: Solution:
average weekly spending total spending $58.55 + $68.04 + $78.82 = $205.41

Given: average weekly spending - totalspending


weekly groceries spending - numberofweeks
$58.55, $68.04, and $78.82

- 3

This answer makes sense because


- $205.41=[$68.47 ,
the approximate answer of (3)($70) = $210 is close to $205.41.

3. John earned $164 per week for 11 weeks. Bill earned $139 per week for 13 weeks.
What is the difference in their total earnings?

Unknown: Solution:
earnings difference
earnings = (weekly rate)(number of weeks)
John ($164)(11)=$1,804
Given: Bill ($139)(13)=$1,807
John = $164 per week
for 11 weeks earnings difference Bill - John

Bill = $139 per week = $1,807 - $1,804


for 13 weeks

[ = $31
This answer makes sense because the earnings difference should be
small as John earned more per week while Bill worked for more weeks.
