Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 8.85 Writing Algebraic Expressions from Verbal Descriptions skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Hard
A lab orders x boxes of test tubes with 10 tubes in each box. It also orders y extra single tubes. The total number of tubes is divided equally among 5 groups. Which expression represents the number of tubes in each group?
A(10x + y)/5
B10x + y/5
C(y - 10x)/5
D5(10x + y)
Solution & Explanation:Find the total amount first, then divide by the number of equal groups. That gives (10x + y)/5.
Problem 2Difficulty: Hard
A taxi fare is 5 dollars to start and 2 dollars per mile m. After a 3-dollar coupon, the fare is split equally with a friend. Which expression represents one person's share?
A2(5 + 2m - 3)
B5 + 2m - 3/2
C(5 + 2m - 3)/2
D(3 - 5 - 2m)/2
Solution & Explanation:Find the total amount first, then divide by the number of equal groups. That gives (5 + 2m - 3)/2.
Problem 3Difficulty: Hard
A school store sells notebooks for n dollars each. It buys 4 packs of stickers at s dollars per pack to give away with the notebooks. If x notebooks are sold, which expression represents notebook revenue minus sticker cost?
