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. How many cows are there in the herd?

Solution

A herd of cows gives 4 liters of milk each day.

Each cow gives one-third of total milk each day = 1/3 of 4

Therefore, each cow gives 4/3 of milk each day.

Total no. of cows = 4 ÷ 4/3

=4×¾

=3

Therefore there are 3 cows in the herd.

Sales for a business were 3 million dollars more the second year 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 were sales, in millions of dollars, for the first year?

20.5

17.5

22

16

Solution

f x = sales for the first year, then x + 3 = sales for the second year. Since sales for the third year were double the sales for the
second year, sales for the third year = 2(x + 3). Sales for the third year were 38, so 2(x + 3) = 38. To solve this equation, you
could first divide each side by 2 to get x + 3 = 19. Then, by subtracting 3 from both sides, x = 16.
You are lying 120 ft away from a tree that is 50 feet tall. You look up at the top of the tree. Approximately how far is your hear
from the top of the tree in a straight line?

120 feet

50 feet

75 feet

130 feet

Solution

The distance may be determined by writing and solving the following equation for c: 502+1202=c2. c = 130, thus the distance is
130 feet.

What is the value of x when 2x + 3 = 3x – 4 ?

-1/5

-7

Solution

You can solve this problem by first subtracting 2x from each side of the equation to get 3 = x – 4. Then add 4 to each side, so x =
7.

In a writing competition, the first place winner receives ½ of the prize money. The second runner up receives ¼ of what the
winner won. What was the total amount of prize money distributed if the winner receives ₱6,000?

₱8,500
 ₱6,000

₱15,000

₱12,000

solution

The following equation may be solved for x: 6000=1/2 x. Solving for x gives x = 12,000. Thus, the amount of prize money
distributed equaled ₱12,000.

What is the greatest common factor of 42, 126, and 210 ?

42

14

21

solution

42 is the correct answer since it is the largest number that is a factor of all three numbers given. You can find the greatest
common factor by writing out the prime factorization of all three numbers and then taking each of the common prime factors
to the lowest power that appears for that factor: 42 = 2 × 3 × 7; 126 = 2 × 3^2 × 7; and 210 = 2 × 3 × 5 × 7. So the greatest
common factor is 2 × 3 × 7 = 42.

A DVD player with a list price of ₱100 is marked down 30%. If John gets an employee discount of 20% off the sale price, how
much does John pay for the DVD player ?

₱86.00

₱56.00

₱44.00

₱77.60

solution

100(0.70) = 70 is the amount that would be paid if the DVD was marked down 30%, but there is another discount of 20%, so the
price is going to be 80% of the marked-down price. The price will be 70(0.80) = 56.

In a small company average salary of three employees is ₱1000 per week. If one employee earns ₱1100 and other earns ₱500,
how much will the third employee earn?

1200

2000

1000

1400

solution

(e1+e2+e3) /3 = ₱1000

₱1100+₱500+e3 = 1000 x 3

1600+e3 = 3000

e3 = 3000-1600

= 1400

The third employee will earn $1400

One half of the students in a school are girls, 3/5 of these girls are studying in lower classes. What fraction of girls are studying
in lower classes?

2/4

3/4

3/10

2/10

solution

Fraction of girls studying in school = 1/2

Fraction of girls studying in lower classes = 3/5 of 1/2

= 3/5 × 1/2

= 3 × 1/5 × 2

= 3/10

Therefore, 3/10 of girls studying in lower classes.

In his pocket, a boy has 3 red marbles, 4 blue marbles, and 4 green marbles. How many will he have to take out of his pocket to

A typical high school student consumes 67.5 pounds of sugar per year. As part of a new nutrition plan, each member of a track
team plans to lower the sugar he or she consumes by at least 20% for the coming year. Assuming each track member had
consumed sugar at the level of a typical high school student and will adhere to this plan for the coming year, what is the
maximum number of pounds of sugar to be consumed by each track team member in the coming year?

66

44

48

54

solution

54 is the correct answer. For each member of the track team to consume 20% 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) = 54.

An instrument store gives a 10% discount to all students off the original cost of an instrument. During a back to school sale an
additional 15% is taken off the discounted price. Julie, a student at the local high school, purchases a flute for ₱306. How much
did it originally cost?

₱450

₱325

₱400

₱350

solution

The equation, x-0.10x-0.15(x-0.10x)=306, may be used to solve the problem. Solving for x gives 0.90x - 0.15x + 0.015x = 306,
where x = 400. Thus, the original price was ₱400.

If y(x-1)=z then x=

y-z

z(y-1)

y(z-1)

z/y + 1

solution

The equation may be solved by first distributing the y across the expression, x - 1, on the left side of the equation. Doing so
gives: xy - y = Z. Adding y to both sides of the equation gives: xy = Z + y. Finally, division of both sides of the equation
by y gives: x=(Z+y)/y or x=Z/y+1.

If 5 ounces is equal to 140 grams, then 2 pounds of ground meat is equal to how many grams?
 896

863

915

878

solution

Since there are 32 ounces in 2 pounds (16 ounces = 1 pound), the following proportion may be written: 5/140=32/x. Solving
for x gives x = 896. Thus, there are 896 grams in 2 pounds of meat.
