Keyoka has some bows. She has 8 more purple bows than green bows. She has twice as many orange bows as purple bows. She has 9 green bows. How many bows does Keyoka have altogether?
Student's solution: Work backwards.
Keyoka has 9 green bows.
She has 8 more purple bows than green bows (9 + 8 = 17).
She has twice as many orange bows as purple bows (17 × 2 = 34).
So Keyoka has 9 + 17 + 34 or 60 bows.
