This document provides examples of word problems involving money. It presents two sample problems and shows the step-by-step solutions. The first problem involves coins of different values (1, 5, and 10 peso coins) and determines how many of each coin are needed to total 170 pesos. The second problem involves bills of different values (20, 50, and 100 peso bills) and determines how many of each bill are needed to total 1200 pesos with a total of 25 bills. The document demonstrates setting up equations to represent the values and quantities and solving the equations to find the number of each coin or bill.

July 2014 Definitions • Total Value = Sum of (Value * Number of Pieces)
• Examples: P5(12pcs), P10(8pcs), P1(10pcs)
• Total Value = 5(12) + 10(8) + 1(10)
= 60+80+10 = P150 Sample Problem 1. I have a mix of 1, 5 and 10 peso coins. If there are as many 5 peso coins as many 10 peso coins. And twice as many 1 peso coins as 5 peso coins. And all in all my money sums to P170. How many of each do I have? Solution R: x, number of 5 peso coins x, number of 10 peso coins 2x, number of 1 peso coin E: 5(x) + 10(x) + 1(2x) = 170 S: 5x + 10x + 2x = 170 17x = 170 17x/17 = 170/17 x = 10, 2x = 20 Solution I: there are 10 pcs of both 5 and 10 peso coins, and 20pcs of 1 peso coin. Sample Problem 2. I have equal number of 20 and 50 peso bills, and some 100 peso bills. If all in all I have P1200 pesos and 25 pcs of bills, how many of each do I have? Solution R: x, number of 20 peso bill x, number of 50 peso bill 25-2x(sum of the two previous number of bills), number of 100 peso bills E: 20(x)+50(x)+100(25-2x)=1200 S: 20x+50x+2500-200x=1200 2500-130x = 1200 1300 = 130x Solution (continued) 130x = 1300 x = 10 I: There are 10 pcs of 20 peso bill, 10 pcs of 50 peso bill and 5 pcs of 100 peso bill.
