Problem 1: Text Messaging Cost



Question:
You are talking to your boyfriend/girlfriend who is overseas, and it costs you $0.35 for your first text message, and $0.08 for each additional text. If you have $0.75, how many times can you text?

Solution:

- First text: $0.35
- Remaining money after first text:
$0.75 - $0.35 = $0.40

- Each additional text costs $0.08
Number of additional texts:
$0.40 ÷ $0.08 = 5

- Total texts = 1 (first) + 5 (additional) = 6 texts

Answer: You can send 6 text messages.

Problem 3: Curtains for Dollhouse



Question:
There are 24 windows on the dollhouse and each window needs 3.75 inches of fabric for curtains. How much fabric do you need?

Then:
Your sister would also like little tiny pillows for her dolls. If you have 8 feet of fabric in all (there are 12 inches in a foot), how much do you have leftover for pillows?

Part A: Fabric needed for curtains

- Fabric per window = 3.75 inches
- Number of windows = 24

- Total fabric needed:
24 × 3.75 = 90 inches

Answer: You need 90 inches of fabric for curtains.

Part B: Leftover fabric for pillows

- Total fabric available = 8 feet
Convert to inches:
8 feet × 12 inches/foot = 96 inches

- Fabric used for curtains = 90 inches

- Leftover fabric:
96 - 90 = 6 inches

Answer: You have 6 inches of fabric leftover for pillows.

Problem 4: Brownie Recipe – Sugar



Question:
Your brownie recipe calls for 2.5 cups of sugar. You have 1.75 cups of sugar in your cabinet. How much more sugar do you need?

Then:
Your neighbor has lent you 2 cups of sugar. Now, how much extra sugar do you have?

Part A: How much more sugar do you need?

- Required sugar = 2.5 cups
- Available sugar = 1.75 cups

- Additional sugar needed:
2.5 - 1.75 = 0.75 cups

Answer: You need 0.75 cups more sugar.

Part B: Extra sugar after neighbor lends 2 cups

- You get 2 cups from neighbor
- You only needed 0.75 cups

- Extra sugar:
2 - 0.75 = 1.25 cups

Answer: You now have 1.25 cups of extra sugar.
