You collect coins. Suppose you start out with 11. Since you're nice, you
give Sharon 3 coins and you give Steven 4 coins. How
many coins do you have at the end?
Solution:
The given word problem is about the application of four basic operations. At the start, you have 11 coins.
If you give Sharon 3 coins since you're nice, then you have 11 - 3 = 8 coins left.
Finally, if you give Steven 4 coins since you're nice, then you have 8 - 4 = 4 coins left at the end.
