Question

In a math word problem, does the word ''at'' means to multiply?

Answer 1

I would say no, but without an example of what you mean, I can't be 100% sure.  

Answer 2

I doubt it.  Usually "of" suggests multiplication, but I can't think of an "at" example. IF the sentence is something like "he buys 5 tickets at 10 per ticket" then at doesn't suggest the math function -- you'd do 10x5 based on the 10 per ticket, and the "at" just sort of introduces the problem.

Answer 3

Yes, but it depends on how the problem is worded. For example, if it says something like "I bought six bottles of soda at $1.50", then you would multiply 6 x 1.50 to get the total amount of money spent.
