Writing Formulae WORKSHEET

This worksheet is designed to help students practice creating mathematical formulae from real-world scenarios. The worksheet is divided into three distinct sections, each challenging students to translate verbal descriptions into algebraic expressions.

Section A focuses on taxi journey cost calculations, presenting various scenarios where students must match the correct formula to a specific taxi company's pricing structure. Each problem involves a base fare and a per-mile charge, requiring students to carefully construct the appropriate algebraic equation using variables like miles traveled and total cost.

Section B shifts to different types of cost calculations, the total cost when purchasing coffees and flapjacks. Students must create formulas that represent total costs using given variables.

Section C continues the formula writing practice, this time with a variety of scenarios. Here the formulae will use each of four operations.
