(1) c. 0.06
Step 1
49
49 percent is equal to or 0.49.
100
Step 2
13 × 0.49
13% of 49 percent is equal to = 0.06
100
Step 3
Hence the correct answer is option c.
(2) a. 14
Step 1
According to the question,
a + b = 6 -----(1)
b + c = 12 -----(2)
c + a = 10 -----(3)
Step 2
By adding equations (1), (2), and (3); we get:
a + b + b + c + c + a = 6 + 12 + 10
⇒ 2a + 2b + 2c = 28
⇒ 2(a + b + c) = 28
28
⇒a+b+c=
2
⇒ a + b + c = 14
Step 3
Thus, option a is the correct answer.
(3) 534.39
Given:
CP = ₱379
Gain% = 41%.
(100 + gain%)
∴ SP =( × CP)
100
(100 + 41)
=₱( × 379)
100
141
=₱( × 379)
100
=₱534.39
(4) profit
Step 1
The cost price of the books was ₱5909, and the selling price was ₱5910.
Step 2
We can see that the selling price is more than the cost price. This means she made a profit on selling
the books.
(5) 36 38 40
Step 1
Let's assume three consecutive multiples of 2 are x, x + 2, x + 4
Step 2
According to the question, the sum of three consecutive multiples of 2 is 114.
Therefore, x + x + 2 + x + 4 = 114
⇒ 3x + 6 = 114
⇒ 3x = 114 - 6
⇒ 3x = 108
108
⇒x=
3
⇒ x = 36
Step 3
Therefore, the numbers are 36, 38 and 40.
Step 1

(7) 3
Step 1
Perfect square is a number made by squaring a whole number.Steps to find the perfect square are as
follows.
Step 2
Prime factor of 108 are 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 3.
Step 3
Lets identify pair of factors,
(2 × 2) × (3 × 3) × 3
Step 4
This number is not the perfect square.There is a prime factor (3) left with the pair of prime factors.To
obtain the perfect square we have to multiply the given number with the 3.
Step 5
108 × 3 = 324
Prime factor of 324 are 2 × 2 × 3 × 3 × 3 × 3, therefore it is the perfect square.
Step 6
Therefore, 3 is the smallest number that 108 must be multiplied with to get the perfect square.
Step 1
Let's assume a and b are the sides of the parallelogram.
The perimeter of the parallelogram = 2(a + b)
Step 2
According to the question, one side of the parallelogram exceeds the other side by 16 cm.
Therefore, a = b + 16
Step 3
Since, the perimeter of the parallelogram = 172 cm
Therefore, 2(a + b) = 172
⇒ 2(b + 16 + b) = 172
172
⇒ (2b + 16) =
2
⇒ 2b = 86 - 16
70
⇒b=
2
⇒ b = 35 cm
Step 4
Now, a = b + 16
= 35 + 16
= 51 cm
Step 5
Hence, the sides of the parallelogram are 35 cm and 51 cm.
