1. Josef Raymund purchased a lawn mower which was sold at 20% discount. He paid Php 14,800.00 for the lawn mower. How
much was the original price of the law mower?
1. Php 18,250 2. Php 18,565 3. Php 18,500 4. 18,575

Let X = original price of the lawn mower

20% = discount given Php 14,800.00 = net price paid
X - .20X = Php 14,800.00
.80X = Php 14,800.00
.80 .80
X = Php 18,500.00
P 18,500 - .20 ( P 18,500 ) = P 14,800
P 18,500 – P 3,700 = P14,800
P 14,800 = P 14, 800
2. Ruth is paid P 17,000 for a regular 40hr. week. Up to 40 hours, she is paid at the regular hourly rate. For overtime of
more than 40 hrs, she receives 1 ½ times as much as the regular hourly rate. How many hours did she work during a
particular week when she earned about P 24,650.00?
1. 48 hrs 2. 52 hrs 3. 55 hrs 4. 54 hrs

_Ruth’s regular rate per hour. = P 17,000 / 40 hrs = P 425.00 per hr.
Ruth’s overtime rate per hour: Regular rate x 1.5 = P 425.00 x 1.5 = P 637.50
Ruth’s overtime pay: P 24,650 – P 17,000 = P 7,650
Ruth’s overtime pay per hour: P 7,650 / P 637.50 = 12 hrs
Regular work week + overtime : 40 hrs + 12hrs = 52 hrs.

3. A stationery pad that sells for P 18.50 can be bought for P 150 when a dozen pads are purchased at one

1. P 6.95 2. P 6.50 3. P 6.75 4. P 6.00

P 150.00 / 12 = P 12.50 per pad P 18.50 – P 12.50 = P 6.00

4. On the day of the school concert, 500 tickets were sold. The students paid P150 each while non-students paid P200
each. If the total of P85,000 was collected, how many non-students attended?
1. 250 2. 230 3. 260 4. 200

Money collected = P85,000 # of tickets sold = 500 tickets

Let X = number of students Let Y = number of non-students
X + Y = 500
150X + 200Y = P 85,000
(X + Y = 500 ) 150 check: X + 200 = 500
150X + 200Y = 85,000 X = 500 - 200

150 X + 150 Y = 75,000

150 X - 200 Y = 85,000 X = 300
50 Y = 10,000
Y = 200

5. A faucet filled a 315 gallon tank in 9 hrs. Later, the tank suffered a crack at the bottom and started leaking at the rate of

315 / 9 t - 6 / 1 = 315 35 T – 6 T = 315

1. P6,520 2. P6,250 3. P6,000 4. P6,400

Solution: 30% + 20% + 10% + 16% = 76%

P25,000 x 76 / 100 = P1,900,000 / 100 = P19,000
P25,000 – P 19,000 = P6,000

11. Ruth bought 55 copies of Phil. History and paid a total of P3,850.00. If she buys 3 copies more of the same book, how
much will she pay in all?

1. P4,060 2. P4,260 3. P4,160 4. P4,150

Solution: P3,850 / 55 copies = P70.00 per copy.

P70.00 x 3 more copies = P210.00
P3,850 + 210.00 = P4,060 tot. cost for 58 books

to three percent of the production, how many pens are being produced?

1. 5,100 2. 4,990 3. 5,000 4. 5,150

Solution: Let X = no. of pens produced

3% = percentage of defective pens in proportion to production
150 = no. of defective pens

3%X = 150 ; 3% X = 150/3% or 150/.03

X = 5,000

13. Timmie owns 40% of the stock in Millenium Traders, Inc. Josef owns 15,000 shares. Bernice owns all the shares not

1. 45,000 shares 2. 50,000 shares 3. 60,000 shares 4. 75,000 shares

Sokution: Timmie = 40% of Millenium Traders
Bernice = owns 25% more than Timmie’s share in the Company
= 1.25% x 40% or .5 or 50% of Millenium
Josef = owns shares neither owned by Timmie nor Bernice
= 100% - 40% - 50% = 10%
If Josef owns 10% of Millenium equivalent to 15,000 shares,
Then: Let X = total number of shares of Millenium
10 % X = 15,000 / .10
X = 150,000 thus : Timmie owns : 40% x 150,000
= 60,000
14. Mang Lorenzo, a gardener, can mow a lawn in 3 hrs. After 2 hrs. it rained and he stopped moving the lawn. In the
afternoon, Aling Tina, completed the rest of the work in one hour and 30 minutes. How long would it take Aling Tina to
mow the lawn by herself?

1. 1 hr and 30 mins. 2. 2 hrs and 22 mins. 3. 2 hrs 4. 2 hrs and 30 mins.

22
 Solution: Part of work done = time actually spent working
Time required to accomplish work
Let X = # of hours it would take Aling Tina to mow the lawn by herself.
Mang Lorenzo = 2/3 of the work done in 2 hrs.
Aling Tina = 1 ½ hrs to finish the rest of the work. 3/2 or 1 ½
= 3/2X = part of the work done by Aling Tina
= 2 / 3 + 3 / 3X = 1
3/2X = 1/3 / 3/2
X = 2/9 or 2.22

15. A couple wants to have only four children so spaced that the first is older than the second by 2 years, the second older
than the third by three years, the third older than the fourth by 4 years. If their plan is realized, how old will the eldest
child be when the youngest is nine years old?
1. 18 yrs. old 3. 16 years old 5. 18 years old
2. 9 yrs. Old 4. 17 years old

Solution: Let X = age of the eldest by the time the youngest is 9 yrs. Old
2 + 3 + 4 = tot. no of years.
9 = tot.no. of age difference.
If the youngest would be 9 years old, adding the no. of age
Difference: X + 9 years = 18 years old
Youngest = 9 years old
2nd to the youngest = 9 + 4 + 13
2nd eldest = 13 + 3 = 16
Eldest = 16 + 2 = 18
16. Mary purchased 4 lbs. of mixed nuts at P20.00 per lb., Rita purchased 2 lbs. of peanuts at P15.00 per lb. What is the
average price per pound for the mixture of both purchases?

1. P18.33 2. P17.50 3. P20.00 4. P18.75

Solution: 4 lbs x P20.00 = P80.00

2 lbs x P15.00 = P30.00
P110.00 / 6 lbs = P 18.33 / lb.
17. Mr. Vergara paid a total of P28,650 in taxes for income earned in 2006. His tax rate is 34 ¼ % of his gross annual
income. What is his monthly income?
1. P7,000 2. P6,970 3. P6,950 4. P6,850

Solution: Tax paid = rate x annual gross income

Tax rate = 34 ¼ % or 3.3425
P28,650 / .3425 = P 83, 650
Monthly salary : gross annual income / 12 months
P83,650 / 12 = P6,970

3. P 29, 204.20
4. P 29, 205.50
5. P 29, 200.00

Solution: for 2006 : P 100,000 x 12% = P 12,000 (yearly interest)

for 2007: P 112,000 x 12% = P 13,440 (yearly interest)
for until April 01, 2008 : P 125,440 x 12% = P 15,052.80 / 12
P 1,254.40 (monthly interest) x 3 months =
P 3,763.20
Total interest earned: P12,000 + P 13, 440 + P 3,763.20

4. P50,500

Solution: annual interest : 6% ; monthly interest : ½ % or .5%

by March 31 : ( P50,000 x .005) + P 50,000 = P 50,250
by April 30 : ( P50,250 x .005) + P 52,250 = P 50,501.25

B. ANSWER KEY AND SOLUTIONS

1. D : % increase = new trees planted – old trees planted
Old trees planted X 100%
= 2,175 - 1,350
1,350 X 100%
= 825 X 100%
1,350
= .61 X 100% = 61%

2. C : Downpayment : P 125,000.00 x 10% = P 12,500.00

: P 112,500.00 / 36 months
= P 3,125.00 monthly
3. B : Commission for the first P 50,000 = 20% x P 50,000 = P 10,000.00
Commission over and above P 50,000 = 12% x ( P 385,000 – P 50,000 )
= 12% ( P 335,000 )
= P 40,200.00
Total commission : P10,000.00 + P 40,200.00
: P 50,200.00
4. A ; Let X = the smaller number
78 – X = the other number 78 – 30 = 48 the other number
( 78 – X ) – X = 18 48 – 30 = 18 the difference of the two numbers
78 – X – X = 18
- 2X = 18 – 78
- X = -60 = 30
-2
5. c ; Let X = the number
4X + 4 = four more than four times the number 4 (7) + 4 = 5 (7) – 3
5X – 3 = three less than five times the number 28 + 4 = 35 – 3
4X + 4 = 5X - 3 32 = 32
4X - 5X = -3 – 4
- X = -7
-X -1 X = 7
6. c ; Let F = Fatima’s present age
B = Bernice’s present age
Fatima’s age seven years ago = F – 7 Bernice’s age seven years ago = B – 7
Fatima’s age a year from now = F + 1 Bernice’s age a year from now = B + 1

B. ANSWER KEY AND SOLUTIONS

F – 7 = 6 (B-7) => F – 7 = 6B – 42
F = 6B – 42 + 7
F = 6B – 35
F + 1 = 2 ( B + 1 ) => F + 1 = 2B + 2 F = 6B – 35
F = 2B + 1 = 6 (9) – 35

33
 6B – 35 = 2B + 1 = 54 – 35
6B – 2B = 35 + 1 F = 19
4B = 36
4 4
B= 9

7. b : Let X = number of kilograms of peanuts.

X kg + 100 kgs = ( X + 100 ) kgs.
P105/kg + P50/kg = P75/kg
105X + 50(100) = 75 ( X + 100)
105X + 5000 = 75X + 7500
105X – 75X = 7500 – 5000
30X = 2500
30 30
X = 83.33
105(83.33) + 50(100) = 75(83.33) + 7,500
13,749 = 13,749

8. d : Let X = worth of the estate X / 2 + X / 3 + P 500,000 = X

X / 2 = wife’s inheritance X / 1 + X / 2 + X / 3 = P 500,000
X / 3 = son’s inheritance X / 6 = P 500,000
X = P 500,000 ( 6 )
X = P 3,000,000
9. b : T = distance / rate T = 5 miles = 5 1 hr = 60 minutes
75 miles per hour 75

T = 5 X 1 = 300 = 4 minutes
75 60 75
10. c : 90% of 60 => .90 (60) = 54 # of students who took the final exam.
2 / 3 of 54 => 2 / 3 x 54 = 2 x 54 = 108 = 36
3 3
Therefore, 36 students passed the final exam.
