Hidden questions are those sneaky little buggers that lurk beneath the surface of a problem, waiting to trip you up. They are important in multiple-step problems because they often hold the key to unlocking the solution. So, pay attention and don't let those hidden questions catch you off guard - tackle them head-on and show them who's boss!

In a nutshell, hidden questions are implied questions in a multiple step math problem. For example, if apples were on sale for $6 per dozen and Mike bought two dozen apples and paid with a $20, how much change does he get? The hidden question (or implied question) is how much did he spend on apples? $6 x 2 = $12. Now you simply subtract $12 from $20 to get Mike's change of $8. But you needed to calculate the $12 first! That was the "hidden" question and it is important because you need the result to get your final answer.
