2-STEP WORD PROBLEMJOE HAS A COLLECTION OF 35 DVD MOVIES. HE RECEIVED 8 OF THEM AS GIFTS. JOE BOUGHT THE REST OF HIS

MOVIES OVER 3 YEARS. IF HE BOUGHT THE SAME NUMBER OF

MOVIES EACH YEAR, HOW MANY MOVIES DID JOE BUY LAST YEAR?

MATH EGY

JOE HAS A COLLECTION OF 35 DVD MOVIES. HE RECEIVED 8 OF THEM AS GIFTS. JOE BOUGHT THE REST OF HIS MOVIES OVER 3 YEARS. IF HE BOUGHT THE SAME NUMBER OF MOVIES EACH YEAR, HOW MANY MOVIES DID JOE BUY LAST YEAR?

STEP 1:

SINCE THE QUESTION ASKS HOW MANY DVD’S HE BOUGHT, FIRST WE MUST SUBTRACT THE TOTAL 35 FROM 8 WHICH IS THE AMOUNT HE RECEIVED AS GIFTS.

35 – 8 = 27STEP 2:

THE REMAINING 27 DVD’S IS THE AMOUNT JOE BOUGHT IN 3 YEARS AND EACH YEAR HE BOUGHT THE SAME AMOUNT, THEREFORE THE 27 NEEDS TO BE DIVIDED BY 3 TO FIND HOW MANY MOVIES HE BOUGHT LAST YEAR.

27÷ 3 = 9

SOLUTION

JOE BOUGHT 9 MOVIES LAST YEAR.
