Grade 4 Word Problem Worksheet with four math problems on baseball cards, bakery purchases, friends, and running distances.

Let’s solve each problem one by one, step by step.

---

Problem 1:
Tim sold baseball cards for $2 each. He sold 72 cards over a one week period. How much money did he make?

→ Each card = $2
→ Number of cards = 72
→ Total money = 72 × $2 = $144

✔ Check: 70×2=140, 2×2=4 → 140+4=144. Correct.

---

Problem 2:
At a bakery, you could buy a large cookie for $3 or a pack of 7 for $17. If you buy the pack of 7, how much money are you saving?

→ Price per cookie if bought alone = $3
→ So 7 cookies alone would cost = 7 × $3 = $21
→ Pack of 7 costs = $17
→ Savings = $21 - $17 = $4

✔ Check: 7×3=21, 21−17=4. Correct.

---

Problem 3:
Amy had 25 friends but she thought that was too many. She stopped hanging out with 1/5 of them. How many friends did she have left?

→ Total friends = 25
→ She stopped hanging out with 1/5 of them → 1/5 of 25 = 25 ÷ 5 = 5 friends
→ Friends left = 25 − 5 = 20

✔ Check: 1/5 of 25 is 5, subtract from 25 → 20. Correct.

Problem 4:
Jessica ran 7km from Monday to Friday. On the weekend, she ran 25km more. How many kilometres did she run over the 7 days?

→ Monday to Friday = 7 km total (not per day — the problem says “ran 7km from Monday to Friday”)
→ Weekend = 25 km more → so add 25 km
→ Total = 7 + 25 = 32 km

⚠️ Wait — let’s read carefully: “Jessica ran 7km from Monday to Friday.” That likely means TOTAL over those 5 days, not per day. Then “on the weekend, she ran 25km more” — meaning 25km additional.

So total = 7 + 25 = 32 km.

✔ But wait — sometimes students misread this as 7km per day. Let’s double-check wording:
“Jessica ran 7km from Monday to Friday.” → This is ambiguous, but in word problems, if it meant per day, it usually says “each day” or “per day”. Here it doesn’t. So we take it as total 7km for Mon–Fri.

Then “on the weekend, she ran 25km more” → adds 25km.

Total = 7 + 25 = 32 km.

BUT — let’s consider if it’s a trick. Maybe “7km from Monday to Friday” means 7km each day? That would be 5 days × 7km = 35km, plus 25km = 60km.

Which is it?

Looking at grammar: “ran 7km from Monday to Friday” — this is commonly interpreted as total distance over that period. For example, “I walked 10 miles from home to school” means total, not per hour.

However, in some contexts, especially with “from...to...”, it might imply daily. But the phrase “on the weekend, she ran 25km more” suggests comparison — so probably 7km total for weekdays, then 25km extra on weekend.

But let’s look at problem 1 and 2 — they’re straightforward multiplication. Problem 3 is fraction subtraction. Problem 4 should be simple addition if 7km total.

Wait — actually, re-reading: “Jessica ran 7km from Monday to Friday.” — this is very likely meant to be 7km PER DAY, because otherwise why mention “from Monday to Friday”? If it were total, it would say “ran 7km during the week” or similar.

In many elementary worksheets, “from Monday to Friday” with a number implies per day unless specified otherwise.

Let me check common conventions.

Actually, no — in standard math problems, if it says “ran 7km from Monday to Friday”, without “each day”, it usually means total. But let’s see the numbers.

If it’s 7km total Mon-Fri + 25km weekend = 32km — that’s fine.

But if it’s 7km per day × 5 days = 35km + 25km = 60km — also reasonable.

I think there’s ambiguity, but looking at the level (Grade 4), and the fact that other problems are simple, likely it’s 7km total for Mon-Fri.

Wait — let’s read again: “Jessica ran 7km from Monday to Friday. On the weekend, she ran 25km more.”

The phrase “25km more” suggests compared to what? More than the 7km? Or just additional?

It says “25km more” — which could mean 25km in addition, not necessarily more than the previous amount.

In English, “she ran 25km more” often means “an additional 25km”.

So total = 7 + 25 = 32km.

But to be safe, let’s assume the most straightforward interpretation: 7km total for Mon-Fri, 25km for weekend, total 32km.

However, I recall that in some curricula, “from Monday to Friday” with a number implies per day. Let me think of an example: “I read 10 pages from Monday to Friday” — usually means 10 pages each day.

This is tricky.

Perhaps the problem intends 7km per day.

Let me calculate both:

Option A: 7km total Mon-Fri + 25km weekend = 32km

Option B: 7km/day × 5 days = 35km + 25km = 60km

Now, which makes more sense for Grade 4? Both are possible, but 60km is a nicer number, and 7×5=35 is a common multiplication.

Also, “25km more” — if it’s 35km during week, then 25km more on weekend, total 60km.

I think Option B is more likely intended, because if it were 7km total, why specify "from Monday to Friday"? It would be odd to say that for a total.

In fact, in many textbooks, "from Monday to Friday" with a quantity implies per day.

For example: "She saved $5 from Monday to Friday" usually means $5 each day.

So I’ll go with 7km per day.

Thus:

Mon-Fri: 5 days × 7km = 35km

Weekend: 25km

Total: 35 + 25 = 60km

✔ Check: 5×7=35, 35+25=60. Correct.

I think this is the intended interpretation.
