There are four different numbers next to these kids. Pick any three numbers and create a word problem. The problem you make should be such that its solution includes both operations (addition and subtraction). Then, show the solution of your problem. By doing this, you will learn how to 'frame word problems'. Numbers: 1,25,546; 32,432; 67,827; 4,32,112.

Here's a word problem using the numbers given:
Word Problem:
Maria, Tim, and Sarah are collecting points by solving math problems for a school competition. Maria scored 125,546 points. Tim scored 32,432 points more than Maria, and Sarah scored 67,827 points less than Tim. How many points did Sarah collect?
Let's break down the problem step by step:

Calculate Tim's Points: Tim's points are the sum of Maria's points and 32,432.
Tim’s Points = 125 , 546 + 32 , 432
Calculating this gives us:
125 , 546 + 32 , 432 = 157 , 978
So, Tim scored 157,978 points.

Calculate Sarah's Points: Sarah's points are 67,827 less than Tim's.
Sarah’s Points = 157 , 978 − 67 , 827
Calculating this gives us:
157 , 978 − 67 , 827 = 90 , 151
So, Sarah collected 90,151 points.


Thus, Sarah collected a total of 90,151 points in the competition.
