Problem 2 – Each notebook costs $3. Maris’ mom gave him $30 to buy his notebooks. How
much money will Maris give back to his mom?
– 8 notebooks times $3 = $24 – Multiply the eight notebooks times the 3 dollars and you
get 24 dollars.
– If Maris has $30 and the notebooks cost $24 you have to subtract.
30 – 24 = 6 So Maris will give his mom 6 dollars.
