Math Problem of the Week - Middle School - Feb. 27, 2022 to Mar. 5, 2022

Middle School: 

Question: A red token is worth twice as much as an orange token. An orange token is worth 5 less a yellow token. A yellow token is worth 15 less than a green token. A green token is worth half as much as a blue token, and a blue token is worth B. How much is a yellow token worth in terms of B? 

Answer: 0.5B - 15

Solution: If a blue token is worth B, then a green token is worth half of B, or 0.5B. A yellow token is worth 15 less, so that is 0.5B-15.
