[Link] terms: 12a + 26b -4b – 16a
[Link] for a business were 3 million dollars more the second year Solution: 12a + 26b -4b – 16a
than the first, and sales for the third year were double the sales for the
second year. If sales for the third year were 38 million dollars, what = 12a – 16a + 26b – 4b
were sales, in millions of dollars, for the first year? *Answer: = -4a + 22b
*Solve: f x = sales for the first year, then x + 3 = sales for
the second year. Since sales for the third year were double [Link] many degrees are there in a right angle?
the sales for the second year, sales for the third year = 2(x + *Answer: 90
3). Sales for the third year were 38, so 2(x + 3) = 38. To [Link] ratio in a right triangle of adjacent to hypotenuse is _____
solve this equation, you could first divide each side by 2 to *Answer: cosine
get x + 3 = 19. Then, by subtracting 3 from both sides,
answer x = 16. 16.A herd of cows gives 4 liters of milk each day. But each cow gives
one-third of total milk each day. They give 24 liters milk in six days.
[Link] angles of a triangle measure 15° and 85 °. What is the measure How many cows are there in the herd?
for the third angle? A herd of cows gives 4 liters of milk each day.
*Answer: 80
*Note: The measure of the third angle of the triangle is Solutions: Each cow gives one-third of total milk each day
equal to 180°-(15° + 85°), or 80°. = 1/3 of 4. Therefore, each cow gives 4/3 of milk each day.
Total no. of cows = 4 ÷ 4/3= 4 × ¾
[Link] a writing competition, the first place winner receives ½ of the prize *Answer: = 3
money. The second runner up receives ¼ of what the winner won.
What was the total amount of prize money distributed if the [Link] prime number occurs after 31?
receives ₱6,000? *Answer: 37
*Answer: 12,000
*Note:The following equation may be solved for x:[Link] 3x=6x-15 then x + 8=
6000=1/2 x. Solving for x gives x = 12,000. Thus, the amount of prize *Answer: = 13
money distributed equaled ₱12,000. Solution: The equation may be solved for x by first subtracting
6x from both sides of the equation. Doing so gives -3x = -15,

*Note:We get that √48 = 2⋅2√3. Lastly, step three says8, which equals 13.
to simplify, so we go ahead and multiply the 2⋅2 outside of the square
root to get 4√3. That's it! We get that √48 = 4√3. 19. If 5 ounces is equal to 140 grams, then 2 pounds of ground meat
*Solve: √48 = √16 x √3 is equal to how many grams?
= √4 x √3 *Answer: = 896
*Answer: = 4√3 Solution:Since there are 32 ounces in 2 pounds (16 ounces = 1
pound), the following proportion may be written: 5/140=32/x. Solving

*Note: For each member of the track team to consume 20% *Answer: Thirty (30)
less sugar, the track member will consume 100% – 20% = 80% of the
level of a typical high school student. 80% of 67.5 = 0.80(67.5) 23. Sarah is twice as old as her youngest brother. If the difference

the expression, x - 1, on the left side of the equation. Doing so Solution:
gives: xy - y = Z. Adding y to both sides of the equationStep1:
gives: xy = Z + y. Finally, division of both sides of the equation Let the price be = x
by y gives: x=(Z+y)/y or x=Z/y+1. Discount rate = 10%
Step2:
[Link] is the value of x when 2x + 3 = 3x – 4 ? Discount = 10% of x = 0.10 × x = 0.1x
*Answer: 7 Sale price = Original price − Discount = x − 0.1x = 0.9x
Solution:You can solve this problem by first subtracting 2x from each Step3:

is ₱237.60. But a tax of 20% is automatically withheld. If she needs $1200, how
much must she actually request?
30. What is the greatest common factor of 42, 126, and 210 ? *Answer: = 1,500
*Answer: 42 Solution: Since 20% will be withheld, Maria will receive 80% of her
Solution: 42 is the correct answer since it is the largest number thatrequest. So the question is: $1200 is 80% of how much?
is a factor of all three numbers given. You can find the greatest 80 : 100 = 4 : 5 = 1200 : ?
common factor by writing out the prime factorization of all three 4 has been multiplied by 300. Therefore, 5 must be
numbers and then taking each of the common prime factors to the multiplied by 300:
lowest power that appears for that factor: 42 = 2 × 3 × 7; 126 = 2 × 4 : 5 =1200 : 1500.
3^2 × 7; and 210 = 2 × 3 × 5 × 7. So the greatest common factor is 2 $1200 is 80% of $1500
× 3 × 7 = 42.

*Answer: 500 did he earn at the end of the two year period?
Solution: Interest at the end of the first year:
7% * 5000 = $350
Number Series and Sequence Test Interest at the end of the second year:
8.5% * (5000 + 350) = $454.75

When they are mixed in the ratio 1:2 (total of 3 parts) the would it take to fill the tank to 3/10 of its capacity? (1 gallon = 8 pints)
average profit is 10%: (x + 2y)/3 = 10. Solution: since 1 gallon = 8 pints;
When they are mixed in the ratio 2:1 (total of 3 parts) the 200/8 gallons is the capacity => 25 gallons
average profit is 20%: (x + 2y)/3 = 20 3/10 of capacity of 25 gallons=> 3/10*25
Solving gives: x = 30% and y =0%, after the individual profit percent

bears. How many teddy bears can one machine create in 30 minutes? 1.20 m + (5 years * 0.06 m/year) = 1.20 m + 0.30 m
Solution:First, find how many teddy bears one machine can create in Answer= 1.50 m.
50 minutes: 10 ÷ 2 = 5 Now find how long it takes one machine to
create 1 teddy bear: 50 ÷ 5 = 10 minutes per teddy bear. At last find
how many teddy bears the machine can create in 30 minutes:

households in a certain city have a TV, how many do not have cable
TV?
The given ratio is 5 cable TV/ 7 households.
equation:5 cable TV = x cable TV
7 household 42000 household
solve: 5(42000) = 7x
30000 = x
In the proportion the variable represents how many have cable TV.
However, the question asks how many do not have cable TV. Do not
assume that once you solve the equation you have answered the
question.
Total household with TV - have cable = do not have cable
42000 - 30000 = 12000
Answer = Out of the 42,000 households that have a TV, 12000 do
not have cable TV.

percent = part / whole = 280 / 1200 =0.23 (rounded to 2 decimal
places)
Multiply and divide 0.23 by 100 to

Multiply and divide 0.23 by 100 to convert in percent

percent = 0.23 * 100 / 100 = 23 / 100 Answer= 23%
