Supplied materials
- Paper or a text document; all cases below are original fictional learning inputs.
- An adult may read aloud; drawing or spoken answers are valid. No personal health information or physical performance is required.
- The separate worked case gives baseDollars=18, travelDollars=7, subsidyDollars=10. Compute supplied base cost+travel cost−confirmed model subsidy. First identify the quantities and keep their units consistent. The calculation is 18+7-10=15 dollars net model cost. Round to six decimal places where needed. That result answers this supplied planning question only. It does not establish what a real person did, diagnose a condition or prove physical skill. Compare the units with the question before accepting a number.
- Fictional case 1: baseDollars=20, travelDollars=6, subsidyDollars=10. What is the modeled result using the stated method?
- Fictional case 2: baseDollars=15, travelDollars=8, subsidyDollars=5. What is the modeled result using the stated method?
- Fictional case 3: baseDollars=30, travelDollars=5, subsidyDollars=15. What is the modeled result using the stated method?
- Fictional case 4: baseDollars=10, travelDollars=12, subsidyDollars=8. What is the modeled result using the stated method?
- Fictional case 5: baseDollars=25, travelDollars=10, subsidyDollars=20. What is the modeled result using the stated method?
- Fictional case 6: baseDollars=12, travelDollars=4, subsidyDollars=6. What is the modeled result using the stated method?
Learn the idea
Access can depend on transport, time, fees and available support. This fictional general-information session model uses stated base and travel costs, with one supplied subsidy. A lower net cost does not establish service quality, availability or personal suitability.
Add the two supplied costs and subtract the stated subsidy once. Do not assume an unconfirmed grant or discount exists. The cases give subsidies no larger than total cost. Money arithmetic is an access comparison, not a health benefit estimate.
No real payment, application or medical record is needed. All amounts and services are invented. A completed model should identify which support is actually supplied and which other access facts remain unknown; it cannot guarantee funding or care.
- Mark the facts or constraints in the supplied case.
- Apply the method explained above; draw a sequence, table or decision map.
- Compare your result with the worked solution and explain the difference.
- Complete the new cases, then check the changed-case extension.

Helpful tips
- Subtract only the subsidy explicitly confirmed in the fictional model.
- Lower cost does not prove availability, quality, suitability or actual funding.

16 dollars net model cost
Compute supplied base cost+travel cost−confirmed model subsidy. With baseDollars=20, travelDollars=6, subsidyDollars=10, calculate 20+6-10=16 dollars net model cost. Results are rounded to six decimal places where needed. This is a supplied model, not a personal health assessment.
Take it further
Changed case: baseDollars=22, travelDollars=6, subsidyDollars=12. Show the operation. Expected: 22+6-12=16 dollars net model cost; round to six decimal places where needed, retain model limits and explain the units.
