Intro to algebra type stuff to make sure you understand the concept of variables in the first place

Even then, I would want them to leave π in the problem itself. That would be much better for this exercise - teaching that you report “exact” values with π still in them.
Eg, if I rewrote this problem, I would expect an answer of 1000π.

Honestly here they should have done "round pi to two decimal places" or smth. -
