Question

Yolanda is saving money to buy a game. The game costs $14, and so far she has saved one-half of this cost. How much money has Yolanda saved?

Answer 1

0.5 x 14 = $7

Answer 2

Yolanda has saved $7.

Answer 3

Well it says the cost is 14, and that she saved half of the cost, or 14. Well there are two ways to solve this:
#1: By multiplying the cost, which is 14, by 0.5
#2: By dividing the cost, which is 14, by 2

So, #1: 14 x 0.5
#2: 14/2

You'll find that both will equal to 7.
Good luck on the rest of your questions!
