Exercises 3.3
1.) 195 girls
Sol’n: Let x = boys
x + 26 + x = 364
2x + 26 = 364
2x = 364 - 26
2x = 338
x = 338/2
x = 169
There are 169 boys. Since the number of girls are 26 more, 169 + 26 = 195. Therefore,
there are 195 girls in Park Elementary School.
3.) 91 squares
Sol’n: 1 x 1 + 2 x 2 + 3 x 3 + 4 x 4 + 5 x 5 + 6 x 6 = 91
5.) $40
Sol’n: Let shirt = x + 30 and tie = x
(x) + (x+30) = 50
2x + 30 = 50
2x = 50 - 30
2𝑥 20
=
2 2

x = 10
Shirt cost $30 more than cost of tie then, $10 + $30 = $40
7.) 18 direct routes
9.) 4096 ways
Sol’n: 212 = 4096
11.) 36 handshakes
13.) 14 pigs and 21 ducks
Sol’n: Let's let x be the number of ducks, and y be the number of pigs.
x + y = 35
2x + 4y = 98
x + 2y = 49
2y - y = 49 - 35
y = 14

x = 35 – 14
x = 21
Therefore, there are 21 ducks and 14 pigs.
15.) 12 ways

19.) The units digit is 1.
21.) a. 8,020; b. 151,525; c. 1,892
23.) a. 121; b. 1331
Sol’n: 112 = 121
113 = 1331

Sol’n: 51 x 51 = 2601
33.) two(2) more sisters
35.) 11th day
37.) 91
Sol’n: 85(4) = 82 + 91 + 76 + n
n = 91
39.) a. First, put four coins on one side and four on the other side. Dispose of the four heavier
coins, then take the four lighter coins, and measure against two. Take the lighter coins and
measure them on one side, and the lighter coins on the other side are the fake coin.
b. Put three coins on both sides and remove them all if it balances and put the remaining two,
one on each side. It won't balance because it has the fake coin on the lighter side.
