(1) c. 0.06

Step 1
49
49 percent is equal to or 0.49.
100

Step 2
13 × 0.49
13% of 49 percent is equal to = 0.06
100

Step 3
Hence the correct answer is option c.

(2) a. 14

Step 1
According to the question,
 a + b = 6 -----(1)
 b + c = 12 -----(2)
 c + a = 10 -----(3)

Step 2
By adding equations (1), (2), and (3); we get:
 a + b + b + c + c + a = 6 + 12 + 10
⇒ 2a + 2b + 2c = 28
⇒ 2(a + b + c) = 28
28
⇒a+b+c=
2
⇒ a + b + c = 14

Step 3
Thus, option a is the correct answer.

(3) 534.39

Given:
CP = ₱379
Gain% = 41%.

(100 + gain%)
∴ SP =( × CP)
100
(100 + 41)
=₱( × 379)
100
141
=₱( × 379)
100
=₱534.39

Hence, the SP of the article is ₱534.39.

(4) profit

Step 1
The cost price of the books was ₱5909, and the selling price was ₱5910.

Step 2
We can see that the selling price is more than the cost price. This means she made a profit on selling
the books.

(5) 36 38 40

Step 1
Let's assume three consecutive multiples of 2 are x, x + 2, x + 4

Step 2
According to the question, the sum of three consecutive multiples of 2 is 114.
Therefore, x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 114
⇒ 3x + 6 = 114
⇒ 3x = 114 - 6
⇒ 3x = 108
108
⇒x=
3
⇒ x = 36

Step 3
Therefore, the numbers are 36, 38 and 40.

(7) 3

Step 1
Perfect square is a number made by squaring a whole number.Steps to find the perfect square are as
follows.

i. Resolve the given number into prime factors.

ii. Make pairs of prime factors such that both the factors in each pair are equal.
iii. If there is nothing left with the pair of prime numbers so the number is perfect square otherwise
not.

Step 2
Prime factor of 108 are 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 3.

Step 3
Lets identify pair of factors,
(2 × 2) × (3 × 3) × 3

Step 4
This number is not the perfect square.There is a prime factor (3) left with the pair of prime factors.To
obtain the perfect square we have to multiply the given number with the 3.

Step 5
108 × 3 = 324
Prime factor of 324 are 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 3, therefore it is the perfect square.

Step 6
Therefore, 3 is the smallest number that 108 must be multiplied with to get the perfect square.

(8) 35 cm, 51 cm

Step 1
Let's assume a and b are the sides of the parallelogram.
The perimeter of the parallelogram = 2(a + b)

Step 2
According to the question, one side of the parallelogram exceeds the other side by 16 cm.
Therefore, a = b + 16

Step 3
Since, the perimeter of the parallelogram = 172 cm
Therefore, 2(a + b) = 172
⇒ 2(b + 16 + b) = 172
172
⇒ (2b + 16) =
2
⇒ 2b = 86 - 16
70
⇒b=
2
⇒ b = 35 cm

Step 4
Now, a = b + 16
= 35 + 16
= 51 cm

Step 5
Hence, the sides of the parallelogram are 35 cm and 51 cm.

(9) A) 64x2 + 49y2 − 112xy

We know that (a − b)2 = a2 + b2 − 2ab.

∴ (8x − 7y)(8x − 7y) = (8x − 7y)2

= (8x)2 + (7y)2 − 2 × 8x × 7y
= 64x2 + 49y2 − 112xy
