Sample Problem

• Jennifer wants to take piano lessons that cost
  15 each. She plans to take 10 lessons, for
  which she has 85 saved. How much more money
  does she need in order to pay for the lessons?
• P How much more money does she need to pay for
  the lessons?
• A15 for each lesson
• 10 lessons
• 85 saved
• C 15 150
• x10
  -85
• 150 for 10 lessons 65
  more money needed
• E First I identified the problem and wrote down
  the needed information. Then I multiplied the
  cost for each lesson by the number of lessons
  that she plans to take and got a product of 150.
  Next I subtracted the amount of money that she
  saved from the total cost of the lessons and got
  a difference of 65. She needs 65 more in order
  to pay for the lessons
