Evaluating Algebraic expressions with variables word problems

Grade 6 Math Worksheets

We can have a good understanding of evaluating expressions with variables with the help of following examples:

Example: The price Regina pays to visit the vet’s clinic is calculated according to the formula 20 + 50n. Here n is the number of times she visits him in a year. This time it was 2. What was the cost of his visit?

Equation here says: 20 + 50n

= 20 + (50.n)

= 20 + (50 × 2)

= 20 + 100

= $120 (Answer)
