Instruction: Solve the problems below. Show your complete solutions. You may use any
approach or strategy for as long as it is mathematically sound. (Rewrite and answer each
problem on a separate piece of short bond paper.)

1. Alice, Ben and Carl collect stamps. They exchange stamps among themselves
according to the following scheme: Alice gives Ben as many stamps as Ben has and
Carl as many stamps as Carl has. After that, Ben gives Alice and Carl as many stamps
as each of them has, and then Carl gives Alice and Ben as many stamps as each has.
If each finally has 64 stamps, with how many stamps does Alice start?
2. Find 3 solids and their measurements whose surface area is 60 square units.
If it is now 10:45 am, what time will it be in 143,999,999,995 minutes from now?

An egg vendor broke all the eggs that he was delivering to a local store. He could not
remember how many eggs there were in all. However, he did remember that when
he tried to pack them into packages of 2,3,4,5 and 6 he had one left over each time.
When he packed them into packages of 7, he had none leftover. What is the smallest
number of eggs he could have in the shipment?
Find the units digit for the sum 13 25 + 481 + 5411.
How many squares of all sizes are in an 8x8 checkerboard?
Mang Ruben has only 11-liter can and a 5-liter can. How can he measure out exactly 7 liters of
water?

If a pup is worth a pooch and a mutt, and a pup and a pooch are worth one bird dog,
and two bird dogs are worth three mutts, how many pooches is a pup worth?
Let the value of a pup be p, of a pooch be c, of a mutt be m, and of a bird dog be b.
Then
we are given:
p = c + m (1)
b = p + c (2)
2b = 3m (3)
We must express p in terms of c. Equation (1) above can be arranged as m = p − c.
Substituting this and (2) into (3), we have
2(p + c) = 3(p − c)
2p + 2c = 3p − 3c
5c = p
Thus a pup is worth 5 pooches.
Alternate approach:
3 pups are worth 3 pooches + 3 mutts from (1)
3 pups are worth 3 pooches + 2 birddogs from (3)
3 pups are worth 3 pooches + (2 pups + 2 pooches) from (2)
Therefore, 1 pup is worth 5 pooches.

In order to encourage his son in the study of algebra, a father promised the son P8
for every problem solved correctly and to fine him P5 for each incorrect solution.
After 26 problems neither owed anything to the other. How many problems did the
boy solved correctly?
Let x = the problem solved correctly

8(x-5)=0
= 8x – 40 = 0
= 8x = 40
8 8
X = 5 (the problem solved incorrectly)

26-x=0
26-5 = 21 (number solved incorrectly)

x+21 = total problems

5 + 21 = 26 problems
