Stan's first job has an annual raise and his beginning salary is $30 and he worked there for three years. His second has the same amount of annual raise and his beginning salary is $19. When will his salary of second job be the same as the first job?
GROUP 1 = The story didn’t fit the equation because they didn’t tell how the first job and second job’s income is equal. Also you didn’t include how long they worked for the second job. If I was the person who chooses the word story problem for the text book, I won’t use it. Since, the equation doesn’t match with the word story problem. It does make sense but it didn’t match it with the equation. They just have to include the years and tell that the first job income and second job income are equal. There are no grammatical mistakes throughout the story. However, in order to make it a good word story problem, they have to include what they suppose.

This is the regular word problem we can see on the textbook easily. They could’ve use creative names of the person or other topics to improve. It’s not vague and it is easy to understand.
No, this problem does fit with the equation, the reason is that, if you right this problem as the equation it is 30+3s= 19+ s, which is totally different from the actual equation 3(30+s)=4(s+19). It doesn’t state how many years he worked in his second job, also it doesn’t make sense because the 3 isn’t multiplied to the 30, the beginning salary but only the annual raise. No, it is not functional as well the reason is that the problem doesn’t fit the equation. The text is pretty clear, but the problem is that they have the wrong information and the problem is totally wrong. However, there is no grammatical mistakes. This problem is not that creative, to make it creative, it would be better with specific jobs listed. The positive points are that there are no grammatical mistakes and its clear what they are trying to tell the reader.
No, this story does not derive the given equation. The equation we got was 30+3x=19+x (x= # years) which is perfectly different from the original equation which is 3(30+s)=4(s+19). The problem with this story is that the number of year(s) Stan worked for the second job is obscure. I think the story is rather redundant, so your group should come up with something more interesting. Your group didn’t make any grammatical mistakes. Although the story did not match the equation, the story itself was pretty clear.
Batman and Bane both went to the market to buy fruits. Batman bought 3 bags of apples, each bag has 30 apples in them but for each bag he gets s amount extra. Bane bought 4 bags of bananas which have 19 bananas per bag and for each bag he also gets s amount extra. In the end of the day Batman and Bane have the same amount of fruits, how many EXTRA fruits did each get.

S = # of extra fruit.
