Write and solve a problem involving money that can be solved with a division equation and has a solution of 1,350.

Lauren is hosting a charity walk for an organization that donates notebooks to children who need them. Each notebook is $2. They make $2700! How many children can they donate the notebooks to?

2p=2700

2p/2 = p (2 cancels out)

2700/2=1350

p=1350

Lauren can donate notebooks to 1350 children.

- - I have my eye on a real spiffy car that I want to buy.

- - It costs $5,400 and it will only be available for 4 months.

- - How much do I have to save every month if I want to

buy the car just before it disappears?

The equation is (4) x (Monthly saving) = $5,400.

Divide each side by 4 : Monthly saving = $5,400 / 4

There's your division equation.
