Hello!!

Obviously, there are many possibilities for a real world problem. But, here's one option.

"Jeanette owes her friend, Debbie, a sum of money that is a multiple of 8. During the summer, Jeanette earns 60 dollars by selling cookies at a bake sale. After paying Debbie back for the borrowed sum of money, Jeanette has 28 dollars left. What was the sum of money divided by 8 that Jeanette owed Debbie?"

Hope this helps!! Let me know if you have ANY questions.
