A.

Situation
Thru inspiration instilled by their parents and realization brought by Covid-19 pandemic
experience, Thea and Theo, both Senior High School students decided to save money for a
charity cause. Thea has a piggy bank with ₱10.00 initial coins inside. She then decided to save
₱5.00 daily out of her allowance. Meanwhile, Theo, who also has a piggy bank with ₱5.00 initial
coin inside decided to save ₱3.00 daily.

B. Mathematical model (equation)

Let x = number of days
f(x) = Amount of savings of Thea
g(x) = Amount of savings of Theo
h(x) = Amount of their combined savings
f(x) = 5x + 10
g(x) = 3x + 5
h(x) = ?
C. Sample & Solution
1. How much money will be saved by Thea and Theo after 30 days?
- For Thea
f(x) = 5x + 10
= 5(30) + 10
= 150 + 10
f(x) = 160

-For Theo
g(x) = 3x + 5
= 3(30) + 5
= 90 + 5
g(x) = 95

- After 30 days Thea has saved ₱160 and Theo has saved ₱95.
2. How much money will they save after 365 days/ 1 year?
- For Thea
f(x) = 5x + 10
= 5 (365) + 10
= 1825 + 10
f(x) = 1835
-For Theo
g(x) = 3x + 5
= 3 (365) + 5
= 1095 + 5
g(x) = 1100
- After 365 days/ 1 year, Thea has saved ₱1835 and Theo has saved ₱1100.
3. How much will be their combined savings after 365 days/ 1 year?
Step 1 .Definition of addition of functions
- (f + g) (x) = f(x) + g(x)
Step 2: Substitute the given functions
- (f + g) (x) = (5x + 10) + (3x + 5)
Step 3: Simplify
- (f + g) (x) = 8x + 15
h(x) = ?
h(x) = 8x + 15
= 8 (365) + 15
= 2920 + 15
h(x) = 2935

- For 365 days/ 1 year, Thea and Theo has saved ₱2935 combined.
