                  Let us learn the steps for solving word problems.                   Learn the  mnemonic to remember
                  r —  Read                                                           the steps for solving word problems.

                  U —  Understand (the problem)                                        “Red Ugly Dragon Sings Loudly.”

                  d —  Decide (the strategy -which mathematical operation required)
                  S —  Solve

                  L —  Look back (check the solution)

                  example 1: Mohit bought a DVD player for `3545 and a printer for `5499. How much
                  money did he spend?

                  Solution:   to Understand: The cost of a DVD player and a printer is given. We have to
                                 find the total money Mohit spent.

                                 to decide: To find the total money spent, we need to add the cost of both items.

                                                                             th H      t   O             th H      t   O
                                 to Solve: Cost of DVD player (in `) =        3    5   4    5             5   4    9   9

                                 Cost of printer (in `)                 = + 5      4   9    9          + 3    5    4   5
                                 Total amount spent (in `)              =     9    0   4    4             9   0    4   4

                                   To lookback (checking): Changing the order of the addtion.
                                Thus, Mohit spent `9044.

                  example 2: 5735 boxes have been put in a truck. 437 more boxes can be put in it. What

                  is the total number of boxes that can be put in the truck?
                  Solution:                                                                              th H      t   O
                               Number of boxes put in a truck                                       =     5   7    3   5

                               Number of more boxes that can be put in the truck                    = +       4    3   7
                               Total number of boxes                                                =     6   1    7   2

                               Thus, 6172 boxes can be put in the truck.
