Solution
Problem Solving
involving
Addition and Subtraction
Worked Example
A basket contains 32
fruits. 11 are taken out
and then 21
are added in. How many
fruits are there in the
basket now?
Solution
1. Understand the
problem
Given information:Number of fruits in the
basket = 32
Number of fruits taken
out = 11
Number of fruits added
in = 21
2. Devise a plan
Perform subtraction
followed by addition.
Combined Operations
involvingMultiplication and Division
For combined operations involving
multiplicationand division, calculate also
from left to right.
Worked Example
Find the value of each of the following.
(a)18 x 7 3
(b) 600 8 x 5
Solution
2. Devise a plan
Perform multiplication followed by division.
3. Carry out the plan
21 x RM16 3
= RM 336 3
= RM 112
The amount paid by each of them was
RM 112.
4. Check
21 x RM16 = RM336
3 x RM 112 = RM336
Solution
Combined Operations
involving Brackets
1. For combined operations
involving brackets, work
the calculation within the
brackets first.
Worked Example
2. Solve each of the
following.
(a) 6 x ( 6 - 2 ) ( 9 - 6 )
(b) 20 x (2 + 28 4 ) 95
Solution
(a) 6 ( 6 - 2 ) ( 8 - 2 )
=6x46
= 24 6
=4
(b) 20 x ( 2 + 28 4 ) 95
= 20 x ( 2 + 7 ) 95
=20 x 9 95
= 180 95
= 852.
Brackets are also operative
symbol for multiplication.
For example:( 8 - 3 ) ( 9 - 5 ) -10
= ( 5 ) ( 4 ) 10
= 20 - 10
= 10
2. Devise a plan
Perform addition within the brackets and
followed by multiplication.
3. Carry out the plan
( 7 + 15 ) x 55 = 22 x 55
= 1 210
Therefore, the total number of marbles is
1 210.
4. Check
22 - 15 = 7
1 210 55 = 22
Worked Example
Mr Lee bought 8 Dozens exercise books. He
give 26 of them to his daughter. He then
distributed the rest evenly to his 3 sons.
How many exercise books were given to
each of his sons?
Solution
( 8 x 12 - 21) 3
= ( 96 - 21 ) 3
= 75 3
= 25
25 exercise books were given to each of his
sons.
