II. Problem Solving: Solve the problem below. Show your solution.

Julian bought five bananas and seven guavas. The total amount she paid was at most ₱245. If a
banana costs ₱25, how much will be the cost of a guava?
Answer key
1. B
2. B
3. B
 4. B
5. B
6. B
7. D
8. A
9. C
10. C

Problem solving
Step 1
Let b = bananas
g = guavas
Step 2
5 b+7 g ≤ 245

Step 3
b+ g ≤ 245
(5)25+7 g ≤ 245
125+7 g ≤ 245
7 g ≤245−125
7 g ≤120
120
g≤ =17.14
7
Step 4
If a banana costs ₱25, then a guava cost is less than or equal to ₱17.14.
