 In a final examination, 120 Grade 5 pupils passed. If this number is 96% of those who
took the examination, how many took the examination?
Let’s analyze the problem.

1. See/Know/Understand

What is asked?
B = The number of pupils who took the examination
What are the given facts?
P = 120 Grade 5 pupils
R = 96% took the examination or 0.96
What formula should be used?
B= P/R

2. Plan

What is the number sentence?

Using B = P/R substitute the value of P and R
B= 120/0.96

3. Solve

Solution

There were 125 Grade 5 students who took the final examination.

4. Check

To check, multiply one of the given from the answer.

125 × 0.96 = 120

Of the 3120 applicants who took an entrance test only 468 applicants passed. What
percent of the applicants passed the entrance test?
‘
Solution

1. a. the number of pupils who received prizes
b. 40 boys, 20 girls, 20% boys and 15% girls
c. (40 × 20%) + (20 × 15%) = N
d. 40 × .20 = 8 + 20 × .15 = 3
8 + 3 = 11
e.11 received prizes.
2. a. the discounted price of the jeans
b. original price = 900, discount = 25%
c. discount = Discount Rate × marked price
Sale Price = marked price – discount
d. D = 0.25 × 900 = N
D = 225
Sale price = 900 - 225 = N
Sale price = 675
e. discounted price of the jeans is 675.
3. a. The total amount earned in a month, and the total amount earned in 6 months.
b. -98,000Php worth of goods
