 16

Solutions and Answers

1. Ten shirts at 300 each is Php3000.00. Now, 20% of 3000 is 600 and 10% of 3000 is 300. 600 + 300 =
900. Therefore, her profit after selling all the blouses is Php900.00. Answer: Php900

2. 5

3. She gave ½ to her children so only ½ of the cake remained. Now, she gave 1/3 of ½ remaining cake to her
neighbors, so the remaining cake is 2/3 of ½ which is equal to 1/3. Answer: 1/3

4. She only studied for 2 hours and 15 minutes. If we add 2 hours to 7:45, she will finish by 9:45. If we add
another 15 minutes, this gives us 10:00pm. Answer: 10 pm.

5. Surface area of a cube is 6s2 where s is the side length. The side length of a cube with volume
125 cubic centimeter is 5 centimeter. Substituting, 6(s)2 = 6(52) = 6(25) = 150. Answer: 150 sq. cm.

6. If one number is twice the other, then their sum is divisible by 3. Now, 51/3 = 17. So, the numbers are 17
and 34.

7. 2.54cm

8. 50

9.

A. The pattern is an alternating plus 2 and times 2.

10. If March 8 is a Tuesday, then March 15, 22, and 29 are also Tuesdays (you add by 7 to the dates and you
get the same day). So, 30 is a Wednesday and 31 is a Thursday (March has 31 days!). Next, April 1 is a
Friday, therefore, April 1+7 = 8 is also a Friday.
