Here's an actual algebra problem that I would give after the warm-up:
In Algebraopolis, politicians plan to dismantle y% of x public schools, forcing students into manual labor. Each school has c classrooms, with z students each. The expression for students forced into manual labor is:
(x * (y/100)) * c * z = Students forced into labor
Find c if they plan to force 7,500 students into labor by dismantling 50% of 400 schools, with 25 students per classroom.
