Different Situation

Introduction :

In math, different situation questions are nothing but the questions involving the different situations. The situations may be past, current or future. In general, we can observe the different situation based questions via word problems. In this article different situation, we are going to discuss few questions based on different situations.

I like to share this Adding Mixed Fractions with Different Denominators with you all through my article.

Example Problems for Different Situation Questions:

The example problems for different situation questions are as follows:

Example 1:

A library consists of 600 books. Mike bought 80 more books for the library.  At present, how many books are there in the library?

Solution:

Number of books already in the library = 600

Number of books that Mike bought   =  80

Number of books in the library          = 600 + 80

= 680

Therefore, there are 680 books in the library.

Example 2:

Chris sold 1200 meatballs on Monday. He sold 600 more meatballs on Tuesday than on Monday. On Tuesday, how many meatballs did Chris sell?

Solution:

Number of meatballs on Monday = 1200

Steve sold 600 more meatballs on Tuesday

Number of meatballs on Tuesday = 1200 + 600

= 1800

Example 3:

There are 750 seats in a theater. At present, 500 seats are occupied. Calculate the percentage of seats that are occupied.

Solution:

Total number of seats   =  750

Occupied seats   =  500

Percentage of seats occupied  =  `<< 500 / 750>>`   x 100

= `<< 50/75>>`   x 100

=  66.67


Practice Problems for Different Situation Questions:

The practice problems for different situation questions are as follows:
