Key Concepts

  • Problem Solving StrategyStep 1. Read the word problem. Make sure you understand all the words and ideas. You may need to read the problem two or more times. If there are words you don't understand, look them up in a dictionary or on the internet. Step 2. Identify what you are looking for. Step 3. Name what you are looking for. Choose a variable to represent that quantity. Step 4. Translate into an equation. It may be helpful to first restate the problem in one sentence before translating. Step 5. Solve the equation using good algebra techniques. Step 6. Check the answer in the problem. Make sure it makes sense. Step 7. Answer the question with a complete sentence.
  • Finding the Total Value for Coins of the Same Type For coins of the same type, the total value can be found as follows: number⋅value=totalvalue\begin{array}{l} \mathrm{number}\cdot\mathrm{value}=\mathrm{total value} \\ \end{array}where number is the number of coins, value is the value of each coin, and total value is the total value of all the coins.
  • Solve a Coin Word ProblemStep 1. Read the problem. Make sure you understand all the words and ideas, and create a table to organize the information. Step 2. Identify what you are looking for. Step 3. Name what you are looking for. Choose a variable to represent that quantity.Use variable expressions to represent the number of each type of coin and write them in the table.
