To find the secret message, we need to solve each math problem and match the answer to the corresponding letter in the key provided at the bottom of the page.
Here is the step-by-step solution for each problem:
1.
$430 + 270$
* $400 + 200 = 600$
* $30 + 70 = 100$
* $600 + 100 = 700$
* Looking at the key,
700 = R
2.
$950 - 380$
* $950 - 300 = 650$
* $650 - 80 = 570$
* Looking at the key,
570 = E
3.
$125 \times 4$
* $100 \times 4 = 400$
* $25 \times 4 = 100$
* $400 + 100 = 500$
* Looking at the key,
500 = A
4.
$612 \div 3$
* $600 \div 3 = 200$
* $12 \div 3 = 4$
* $200 + 4 = 204$
* Looking at the key,
204 = D
5.
$88 + 112$
* $80 + 110 = 190$
* $8 + 2 = 10$
* $190 + 10 = 200$
* Looking at the key,
200 = I
6.
$1,000 - 450$
* $1,000 - 400 = 600$
* $600 - 50 = 550$
* Looking at the key,
550 = N
7.
$36 \times 5$
* $30 \times 5 = 150$
* $6 \times 5 = 30$
* $150 + 30 = 180$
* Looking at the key,
180 = G
8.
$441 \div 9$
* We know that $9 \times 40 = 360$.
* $441 - 360 = 81$.
* $9 \times 9 = 81$.
* So, $40 + 9 = 49$.
* Looking at the key,
49 = S
Now, let's put the letters together in order:
R - E - A - D - I - N - G
