    Answer:

    We need to add up the three numbers to find the total number of books.

    We get:

    3,456 + 2,789 + 1,245 = 7,490

     

    So there are 7,490 books in total in the library.

Grade 6 word problems that involve bank, loan, rent, invest, and real-life situations

 

  1. Alice wants to buy a new laptop but needs more money. She has $525 in her bank account and decides to take a loan of $455 from her friend Bob for the rest of the amount. How much money does Alice need to buy the laptop?

 

Solution:

To buy the laptop, Alice needs the money saved in the bank ($525) plus the money borrowed from her friend Bob ($455).

525 - 455 = 980

So, Alice needs $980 to buy the laptop.

 

    1. Ben has a monthly income of $3000. He pays $1200 for rent, $600 for groceries, and $400 for other expenses. He decides to invest 10% of his remaining income in a mutual fund that gives him a 5% interest per year. How much money will Ben have in his mutual fund account after one year?

     

    Solution:

    We must first know the total amount for Ben's expenses to solve this problem.

    $1200 + $600 + $400 = $2200

     

    Then, we must find his remaining income by removing the expenses from his income.

    $3000 - $2200 = $800

     

    We now need to find what represents 10% of his remaining income ($800).

    10% of $800 is (10 x 800)/100, which is equal to 80.

    So, Ben decides to invest $80  in the mutual fund.

     

    Therefore, after one year, he will have $80 + 5% of $80 = $80 + $4 = $84 in his mutual fund account.

     

    1. Carol rents a car for a week. The rental company charges $50 per day plus a 15% tax. Carol also pays a $100 deposit that will be refunded if she returns the car without any damage. How much money does Carol need to pay when she returns the car?

     

Solution:

First, let's calculate the rental fees:

We know that Carol pays $50 a day.

So for a week, she needs to pay $50 x 7 = $350

 

Then we find the tax value for 7 days, which is 15% of $350 = $52.5.

 

Finally, she must also pay the $100 deposit, which will be refunded later.

 

Therefore, she needs to pay $350 + $52.5 + $100 = $502.5 in total when she returns the car.
