Solutions

I.

1. Suppose that the ratio of women to men in a line for vaccination is 12:13. If there are 300
persons in line, how many more men are there than women?

12:13 = 300

Women: ¹²⁄₂₅ (300) = 144

Men: ¹³⁄₂₅ (300) = 156

There are 12 more men than women.

2. If the price of pork liempo is ₱450 per kilo after a 15% price increase, what was its original
price?

(1.15) (x) = 450

1.15x/1.15x = 450 / 1.15

x = 391.30
3. Suppose the ₱78 price of a bottle of ethyl alcohol did not change but the volume per bottle
decreased by 10% from 500 to 450 ml. Is the percent increase in price of the alcohol bottle also
10%? Justify your answer.

Old: ⁷⁸⁄₅₀₀ = .156

New: ⁷⁸⁄₄₅₀ = .173

.1733−.156
%= x 100
.156

% = 11.11% is the percent increase in

price of the alcohol bottle

4. Milk tea cups come in small, medium, and large sizes. The price and volume per size are given
below. On the basis of oz per peso, identify which of the sizes is the best buy.
12𝑜𝑧
Small: 𝑃70
= 0.17
16𝑜𝑧
Medium: 𝑃90
= 0.18
22𝑜𝑧
Large: 𝑃100 = 0.22

The large size is the best buy.

5. If the price of a 12-pc pack of ube cheese pandesal increased from ₱225 last year to ₱250 this
year, calculate the percent decrease in the purchasing power of peso with respect to a pack of
pandesal.
300 300
New Price: = 1.2 Old Price: = 1.3333
250 225

1.2 − 1.33

1.33

II. Identify if the tables below represent a linear or an exponential function. Find the corresponding
equations in standard form.

1. y = 6 × 5x

x 0 1 2 3 4
f (x) 6 30 150 750 3750
2. y = 4x + 3

x 1 2 3 4
f (x) 7 11 15 19

III. Suppose that a restaurant food bill is ₱ 700. A 12% E-VAT is applied on the food bill and 20%

SCD is applied on the intermediate balance.

1. How much will the final bill be if 3 out of 4 customers are senior citizens?

FB = fb + EVAT – SCD (fb + EVAT)

3
= 700 + (. 12)(700) − .20 { [700 + .12(700)]}
4
= 700 + 84 – 117.6

FB = ₱666.4

2. How much goes to the national government and to the restaurant owner?
₱84 goes to the National Government
(.12)(700) = 84

The restaurant owner gets ₱582.40

700 – 117.6

= 582.40

IV. Suppose the rate for big users of electricity is fixed at ₱8.75 per KWH, instead of the original flat rate
of ₱8.302. Use the table given below to answer items 1 and 2.

Customer Consumption Amount Due (Single Amount Due (Dual

KWH Flat Rate) Pricing System)

Total 8800.00 8800.00

1. What rate should be charged to the small users if the total amount due is ₱8,800?
8800−6562.5

310

= 7.21
2. Fill out the missing entries in the table with values rounded off to the nearest centavo.

V. Suppose 3 vaccine brands A, B, and C are ranked by employees as follows:

No. of employees Ranking of vaccines
