Sample Problems

TEST I. Directions: Identify the operations to be used in each situation. Write your answer on the
space provided.
Addition 1. The total jeepney fare of two students and two adults.
Halaga ng pamasahe ng dalawang estudyante at dalawang matanda.
The word “total” signalled the operation addition is to be used.
Division 2. The number of members in a group if there are 5 equally large groups in
the class
Bilang ng miyembro sa isang grupo kung may 5 magsisinglaking pangkat
sa isang klase.
The sentence imply the action of distribution hence further implying
division operation.
Multiplication 3. The total weight of all marbles if each weigh 13 grams.
Bigat ng mga holen kung ang bawat isang holen ay 13 grams ang bigat.
The word “total” signalled positive action, either addition or
multiplication would work but the best answer would be multiplication.
Subtraction and 4. The weight of the remaining marbles after your young cousin took away 7
Multiplication marbles.
Bigat ng mga natitirang holen pagtapos kumuha ng iyong pinsan nang
pitong holen.
The situation is similar to the previous item wherein only the weight of
each marble is given. This time, however, there is a “taking away” action
that also signals subtraction operation.
Division 5. An area of land shared equally by 3 siblings.
Lupain na pinaghahatian nang patas ng 3 magkakapatid.
The word “shared” signalled division operation.

TEST IV. Directions: Perform the orders of operations properly and simplify each sentence by
finding the value of x. Write your answer on the space provided before each item.

x = 11 16. 1 − 2 + 3 × 4 = 𝑥
1−2+3×4=𝑥
1 − 2 + 12 = 𝑥
−1 + 12 = 𝑥
11 = 𝑥

x = 2 17. 𝑥 = 4 × (4 + 4) ÷ 42
𝑥 = 4 × (4 + 4) ÷ 42
𝑥 = 4 × 8 ÷ 42
𝑥 = 4 × 8 ÷ 16
𝑥 = 32 ÷ 16
𝑥 =2

x = 1 18. 4 4
𝑥 = (4 − 4) × (4 + 4)𝑥 + ( )

𝑥 = 0 × 16𝑥 + 1
𝑥 =0+1
𝑥=1

x = 1 19. 3𝑥 × (2 + 1) − 2𝑥 × (3 − 1) + 𝑥 × 1
= 2(3)

TEST V. Directions: Translate each problem into a proper Mathematical sentence or expression and
then solve. Write your answer on the space provided.

21. Three godfathers visited a new-born child each bringing their gift. Godfather A brought
twice as many toy gifts as Godfather C. Godfather B brought one more toy gift than
Godfather C. If the godfathers have 5 toy gifts in total, how many toys did Godfather C
bring?
May tatlong ninong na bumisita sa bagong panganak na sanggol at may dalang mga regalo.
Si Ninong A ay may dalang regalong dalawang beses na mas marami kaysa kay Ninong C. Si
Ninong B ay may dalang isang regalo na mas maramin kaysa kay Ninong C. Kung meron
silang 5 regalong dala lahat-lahat, ilan ang regalong dinala ni Ninong C?
Let x = the number of toys Godfather A brought.
A = x, B = 2x, C = x+1
A+B+C=5
𝑥 + 2𝑥 + (𝑥 + 1) = 5
𝑥 + 2𝑥 + 𝑥 + 1 = 5
3𝑥 + 𝑥 + 1 = 5
4𝑥 + 1 = 5
4𝑥 + 1 − 1 = 5 − 1
4𝑥 = 4
4𝑥 4
=
4 4
𝑥=1
The number of toy gift Godfather A brought is 1. | Godfather A brought 1 toy gift.

22. For a regular stay in an inn, P1000.00 is charged for the first 6 hours. All overstayed hours
after the 6th hour are charged P150.00 each. If a person that checked-in was charged P2050
in total for his stay, how many hours did the person overstayed?
Let x = number of hours the person overstayed after the 6th hour
2050 = 1000 + 150𝑥
2050 − 1000 = 1000 + 150𝑥 − 1000
1050 = 150𝑥
1050 150𝑥
=
150 150
7=𝑥
The number of hours the person overstayed after the 6th hour is 7. | The person overstayed
for 7 hours.
