how to solve the math story question

Story questions in integer chapters for students are difficult. The ability to solve the overall story question for junior high school students in Indonesia is still relatively low. This is probably because the story question questions require the ability to properly understand each given problem. the number chapter that is the basic mathematics contains many questions of story questions. And strangely when the question of the mathematics story of the number chapter given to the students the results remain disappointing.

The ability of students to do literacy math problems is necessary in the habit. With the aim that the more students are accustomed to solving story questions tailored to the problems of day-to-day, the child's ability to understand every story question.

National Examination Questions and year-end exam questions have many that use story question items. It is clear that the government especially the Ministry of Education wishes Indonesian students have higher thinking skills, not only skills in performing arithmetic operations but already directed to solve math problems

There are many different types of math story questions related to the topic of numbers. Today we will try some math story questions about numbers and how to solve them.

Example of integer story 1

The provincial OSN contest set rules for students who answered the right questions score 4, incorrectly scored (-2) and not answered (-1). Of the 50 questions given by participants P answered 43 questions and 12 of them wrong. The total score earned by P participants is ...
a. 93              c. 117
b. 100           d 124

Settlement

sum = Answered + not answered
50 = 43 + not answered, means not answered 7
Answered = B + S
43 = B + 12 then the correct question is 43-12 = 31
Total score = B x 4 + S x (-2) + T x (-1) = 31 x 4 + 12 x (-2) + 7 x (-1) = 124 - 24 - 7 = 93


The temperature in the refrigerator is -13ºC, while the temperature in the room is 32ºC. The temperature difference in both places is ....
A. 45ºC
B. 18 ºC
C. -18ºC
D. -45 ºC

completion

Temperature difference = highest temperature - lowest temperature
                           = 32ºC - (-13ºC)
                          = 45 ºC


Example of integer story 3
In the Mathematics competition, each correct answer is given a score of 3, the wrong answer is given a score of -1, and if not answered a score of 0. Of the 40 questions tested, Dedi answers 31 questions, of which 28 questions are answered correctly. Dedi's score is ....
A. 81 C. 87
B. 84 D. 93

Number of questions = Answered + not answered
40 = 31 + not answered, means not answered 9
Answered = B + S
31 = 28 + S then the question is answered incorrectly there is 31-28 = 3
Total score = B x 3 + S x (-1) + T x (0)
                = 28 x 3 + 3 x (-1) + 9 x (0) = 84 - 3 - 0 = 81

Sample integer story question 4

If the "#" sign means the number of the first five numbers and three times the second number, then (-6) # 10 is ....
  A.-60 C. 0
  B.-30 D. 30

How to solve

-6 # 10 = 5 (-6) + 3 (10) = -30 + 30 = 0

Example of integer story question 5
If a = -4, b = 3, c = -2 and d = 1, the value of
ab + bc - cd - abcd is ....
A. -44 C. -36
B. -40 D. -24

Settlement
ab + bc - cd - abcd = (-4) (3) + (3) (- 2) - (-2) (1) - (-4) (3) (- 2) (1)
                                  = -12 + -6 + 2 - 24
                                  = -40
 Example of integer story question 6
Zika is 3 years older than Yeli. While Yeli 5 years older than Fari. If their age is 49 years, then the age 
of Zika is ....
A. 12 years C. 20 years
B. 17 years old D. 22 years old
