To create a math problem based on the expression 10000-(2x300+4x700)÷2, consider a scenario where an individual starts with 10,000 units of currency. They purchase two items priced at 300 each and four items priced at 700 each. The problem can be framed as: "If you have 10,000 dollars and spend on two items costing 300 each and four items costing 700 each, how much money remains?" The solution involves calculating the total expenditure and subtracting it from the initial amount. This type of problem helps illustrate basic arithmetic operations in a real-world context.
