1. Yes, the story fits with the equation. The story is also very clear and funny. It is functional, but they made a mistake saying n = 4, instead of n = 9, which is the actual answer. Yes, I would write this equation. The story is understandable and easy to follow.
2. The story mostly makes sense. However, at first, I got a LITTLE bit confused when it said “Steve got an triple amount of boxes from the two boxes he bought and it was full of n amount of candy.” If I would change that sentence, I would change it to “Steve got three times the amount of boxes he bought.” Other than that, everything was very clear and made sense.
3. Like I said in number two, the sentence “Steve got an triple amount of boxes from the two boxes he bought and it was full of n amount of candy.” was a little bit confusing, and I would like it to be changed.
4. Yes, the story is creative. I think it could be better by using different foods, instead of candy.
