Maths Problem | Involving Money

Today for our rich task Ms Kirkpatrick gave us a word problem to solve out which included 7 students and $202 that had to be given out. I have worked collaboratively with Jeremiah. We found this word problem easy because there were a methods we used which was reading the word problem backwards. This sounds unusual but it helped Jeremiah and I found our answers. The person who received the most money was Melisa who earned $49 and the person who received the less money was Liz who earned $7. I enjoyed solving out this problem and hope to do another one that is based on money and fractions.
