Q5. Use strip models to solve division word problems

Olivia spent $52 in total on 7 identical T-shirts.
$3 was for a shopping bag.

How much did each T-shirt cost?

Divide 52 by 7, then subtract 3 (52 ÷ 7 = 7 R3, then 7 − 3 = 4)

Add 3 to 52, then divide by 7 (52 + 3 = 55, then 55 ÷ 7 = 7 R6)

Multiply 7 by 3 and subtract from 52 (7 × 3 = 21, then 52 − 21 = 31)

Subtract the cost of the bag from the total, then divide by 7 (52 − 3 = 49, then 49 ÷ 7 = 7)

Divide 36 by 6, then subtract 6 (36 ÷ 6 = 6, then 6 − 6 = 0)

Add 6 to 36, then divide by 6 (36 + 6 = 42, then 42 ÷ 6 = 7)

Subtract the service fee, then divide by 6 (36 − 6 = 30, then 30 ÷ 6 = 5)

Multiply 6 by 6 and subtract from 36 (6 × 6 = 36, then 36 − 36 = 0) Answer: A

Olivia spent $84 on 6 identical water bottles.
She later found out that $12 of the total was for a storage bag, not the bottles.

How much did each water bottle cost?

Subtract the cost of the bag from the total, then divide by 6 (84 − 12 = 72, then 72 ÷ 6 = 12)

Divide 84 by 6 first, then subtract 12 (84 ÷ 6 = 14, then 14 − 12 = 2)

Add 12 to 84, then divide by 6 (84 + 12 = 96, then 96 ÷ 6 = 16)

Multiply 6 by 12 and subtract from 84 (6 × 12 = 72, then 84 − 72 = 12)

Ella bought 3 identical craft kits for $21 total.
$3 was for wrapping.

What is the cost of each kit?

Subtract the wrapping cost, then divide by 3 (21 − 3 = 18, then 18 ÷ 3 = 6)

Add 3 to 21, then divide by 3 (21 + 3 = 24, then 24 ÷ 3 = 8)

Multiply 3 by 3 and subtract from 21 (3 × 3 = 9, then 21 − 9 = 12)
