SUMMARY

The discussion centers on creating a word problem based on the mathematical expression 10000 - (2×300 + 4×700) ÷ 2. The scenario involves a total amount of 10,000 currency units, where the user purchases 2 items at 300 each and 4 items at 700 each. The calculation reveals that after these purchases, the remaining amount is 10,000 - (600 + 2800) ÷ 2, leading to a final balance of 8,600 currency units. This structured approach effectively illustrates the application of arithmetic operations in real-life scenarios.

So how can we form a math problem that involves this in it: [ 10000-(2×300+4×700)]÷2... I mean " Anna had 3 apples and John had 4 apples more than Anna " this type of problem, but this one has to be solved as above.
