How about this one? Fill in the blanks, create your own problem, then solve it. Here it is: If Hoku gave Kama __ dimes, he would still have 5 more dimes than Kama. If Hoku started with __ dimes, how many dimes did Kama start with?

    HOKU GAVE (MINUS) 10 DIMES TO KAMA. HE WAS LEFT WITH 15. HOKU STARTED OFF WITH 25. KAMA STARTED OFF WITH 0

    25 – HOKU
    10 – KAMA
    15 – HOKU

    25 (HOKU) – 10 (KAMA)= 15 (HOKU)
    HOKU ENDED UP 5 MORE DIMES THEN KAMA. KAMA NEVER HAD ANY DIMES TO START WITH.
