Need some help with math class.

[Trik'Stari]

Ok, I'm doing some math classwork and I have to create a problem for others to answer, and it has to be a written problem using decimal places (a word problem). I'm drawing a blank, I don't want it to be too easy, but I need to be able to confirm who gets the correct answer.

 

Any thoughts?

Just take an example from the book and swap the numbers. And find the answer.

Just have a go? It's not always about getting right every time, you learn from your mistakes

Give 'em some fractions to convert into decimals and then do some sort of problem, make it some real life scenario and make it as confusing as possible by throwing in some random terms which have nothing to do with what the questions asks, especially if people don't know what they mean.

Lol too late. Phoned it in by telling them that my family spent 154.80 on cigs last week (5 day week), we're a family of four, and each smoke 2 packs a day, then asked how much each pack costs.
