 For 14 – 17, refer to the situation below.

Mrs. Ajero followed a new weight loss program introduced by her friend. With the hope that the
program works for her, she monitored her progress and recorded by her weight weekly as follows:

Week 0 1 2 3 4 5
Weight
78 77.5 77 76.5 76 75.5
(in kg)

__14. If the pattern continues, can you predict her weight on the 10th week of the program?
A. Yes, her weight by the 10th week is 73. C. No, because she might be tempted to cheat.
B. Yes, her weight by 10th week is 74. D. No, because there is no enough information.
__15. If y represents Mrs. Ajero’ weight and x represents the number of the weeks she stays in the program, which
equation is appropriate for the situation?
A. x + y = 78 C. 0.5x + y = 78
B. x – y = 78 D. 0..5x – y = 78
__16. How many weeks will she have stay in the program for her to weigh 60
A. 35 B. 36 C. 37 D. 38
__17. If you are Mrs. Ajero, what piece of advice could you give to those who are on diet to successfully lose
weight?
A. Eat as much foods and exercise more.
B. Eat any food once a day and exercise less.
C. Eat three times a day and sleep very late at night.
D. Eat nutritious food and exercise regularly.
