PROBLEM SET 3
1. Xsa is 14 years older than her sister Yna. Three years ago, she was three times as old as Yna. How old is
each girl now?

1.) 2.) 3.) 4.)

x = y + 14 x - 3 = 3(y - 3) x - y = 14 x - y = 14
Ax + By = C x - 3 = 3y - 9 - x - 3y = -6 x - 4 = 14
x - 3y = - 9 + 3 --------------- x = 14 + 4
x - 3y = -6 2y = 8 x = 18
y=4

2. Joy bought 5 pinipig crunches and 1 drumstick and paid Php 97. Jeffrey paid Php 89 for 3 pinipig crunches
and 2 drumsticks. How much did each pinipig crunch and each drumsticks cost?
Let x = cost for each pinipig = php. 15.00
Let y = cost of each drumstick = php. 22.00

1.) 2[5x + y = 97]2 = 10x + 2y = 194 2.) 3x + 2y = 89

3x + 2y = 89 — 3x + 2y = 89 3(15) + 2y = 89
-------------------- 45 + 2y = 89
7x = 105 2y = 89 - 45
x = 15 2y = 44
y = 22
3. Mr. Panzo invested at 3% annual interest and also at 4% annual interest. The total annual income from
the two investments is P36,000. If the rates of interest were interchanged, the total annual income would
be P34,000. how much did he invest at each rate?
Let x = original price of 3% - Mr. Panzo invested 12,000.
Let y = original price of 4% - He invested 42,000.

1.) 4[.03x + .04y = 36,000]4 2.) .12x + .16y = 144,000 3.) .03x + .04y = 36,000
3[.04 + .03 = 34,000]3 — .12x + .09y = 102,000 .03x + .04(600,000) = 36,000
------------------------------ .03x = 36,000 - 24,000
.07y = 42,000 .03x = 12,000
----------------- -----------------
.07 .07 .03 .03
y = 600,000 x = 400,000
4. Charles went on a sailing trip 30 kilometers each way. The trip against the current took 5 hours. The return
trip with the assistance of the current took only 3 hours. Find the speed of the sailboat in still water. Find the
speed of the current.
Let x = rate in still water - The speed of the water is 2 m/s^2
Let y = original price of 4% - He invested 42,000. - The speed of the current is 8 m/s^2

1.) 3[5x + 5y = 30]3 2.) 5x + 5y = 30

5[3x - 3y = 30]5 5x + 5(8) = 30
15x + 15y = 90 5x + 40 = 30
+ 15x - 15y = 150 5x = 30 - 40
-------------------- 5x = -10
30x = 240 --------------
------------ 5 5
30 30 x=2
y=8
