The reservoir is at full capacity at the beginning of summer. By the first day of fall, the level in the reservoir is 40% below full capacity. Then during the fall, a period of heavy rains raises the level by 40%. After the rains, the reservoir is at what percent of its full capacity? Then during the fall, a period of heavy rains raises the level by 40%. After the rains, the reservoir is at what percent of its full capacity?

Question 1 ExplanationExplanation::
first day of the fall: the reservoir is 60% of full capacity during heavy rains, the reservoir raises 40% of 60% full capacity of the
first day of the fall: the reservoir is 60% of full capacity during heavy rains, the reservoir raises 40% of 60% full capacity of the
reservoir after the rain = 60%
reservoir after the rain = 60% + ( 0.4 x + ( 0.4 x 0.6) = 60% + 24% = 0.6) = 60% + 24% = 84% full capacity of the reservoir 84% full capacity of the reservoir

The faster car traveled 2 hours longer than the slower car and went 150 kms farther. Find the time traveled by the slower car.
3 7 4 5
Question 16 Explanation:
Rate x Time Distance Faster Car: rate = 60 time = t + 2 distance = d + 150 Slower Car: rate = 50 time = t distance = d 60(t + 2) = d + 150 , 50 t = d 60t + 120 = 50t + 150 60t – 50t = 150 – 120 10t = 30 t = 3 hours
Question 17

y = 3x - 10 y = 4x - 2 y = 3x - 42
Question 18 Explanation:
Use point-slope formula, y - y1 = (x= x1)m y – (-2) = (x – 4)(3) y + 2 = 3x – 12 y = 3x – 10 Question 19
WRONG
The sum of five consecutive integers is 35. How many of the five consecutive integers are prime numbers? 2
3 1 4
Question 19 Explanation:
five consecutive integers: x, x +1, x + 2, x +3, x + 4 x + [x+1] + [x+2] + [ x+3] + [x+4] = 35 5x + 10 = 35 x = 5 so the five consecutive integers are: 5, 6, 7, 8, 9 let check if their sum is 35: 5 + 6 + 7 + 8 + 9 = 11 + 7 + 8 + 9 = 18 + 8 + 9 = 26 + 9 = 35 the prime numbers are 5 and 7.

A fruit salad mixture consists of apples, banana and peaches in the ratio of 6:5:4 respectively by weight. If 225 grams of mixture is prepared, how many more grams of apples than peaches?
60 30 45 75
Question 20 Explanation:
6:5:4 – ratio of apples, banana, & peaches respectively. Let k = constant which we will use as multiplier to the ratio 6k + 5k + 4k = 225 15k = 225 k = 225/15 k= 15 weight of apple = (6)(15) = 90, weight of banana = (5)(15) = 75, weight of peaches = (4)(15) = 60 weight of apple – weight of peaches = 90 – 60 = 30 grams

What is the value of the digit x in order for 5719 x to be divisible by 2, 3 and 6? 6
0 2 7
Question 23 Explanation:
5719x to be divisible by 2, 3, and 6 must follow the divisibility rule for 2, 3, and 6. Divisibility rule for 2: last digit must be an even numbers (0, 2, 4, 6, 8) Divisibility rule for 3: sum of all digits must be divisible by 3. Divisibility rule for 6: must follow the divisibility rule for 2 and 3. Applying the divisibility rule for 6, we now get the sum of all digits to check if this number is divisible by 3.
5+7+1+9+x = 22+x, since we need an even number for the last digit so that it can be divisible by 2, x = 2 so that 22 + 2 = 24, 24 is divisible by 3.
Question 24

6 – 4y 4y 4y + 6 14y – 6
Question 27 Explanation:
5y – {3y + (2y – 5) – [3 – (2 + 4y)]} = 5y – {3y + (2y – 5) – [3 – 2 – 4y)]} = 5y – {3y + 2y – 5 – (1 – 4y)} = 5y – {3y + 2y – 5 – 1 + 4y} = 5y – (9y – 6) = 5y – 9y + 6 = 6 – 4y

Question 1
WRONG
A tank can be filled in 6 hours by pipe A running alone, or in 4 hours by pipe B alone. How many hours would be needed to fill the tank if both pipes were running?
2 and 2/5 5 5/12 3 and 1/2
Question 1 Explanation:
A: Rate: 1/6, Time: x, Work: x/6, B: Rate: 1/4, Time: x, Work: x/4, x/6 + x/4 =1 ; multiply both sides by 12, 2x + 3x = 12, 5x = 12, x = 12/5 = 2 2/5
Question 2
WRONG
Jack is now 14 years older than Jill. If in 10 years Jack will be twice as old as Jill, how many years old will Jack be in 5 years? 9
19 21 23
Question 2 Explanation:
let x = Jill’s age x + 14 = Jack’s age age 10 years from now: jill: x+10 jack: x+24, x + 24 = 2( x + 10 ), x + 24 = 2x + 20, 2x – x = 24 – 20, x = 4 , Jack’s present age: x + 14 = 4 + 14 = 18, 5 years from now: 18 + 5 = 23

A taxi driver must complete a 180 mile trip in 4 hours. If he averages 50 miles an hour for the first three hours of his trip, how fast, in miles per hour, must he travel in the final hour?
45 40 30 35
Question 4 Explanation:
180 miles in a 4-hour travel, 1st 3 hours: 50 mph, ( 50 m / hr )( 3 hr ) = 150 miles, 180 – 150 = 30, 30 miles in 1 hr, speed on the 4th hr: 30 mph
Question 5
WRONG Kung ang a = b + 1/2 = [b+3]/2, ano ang halaga ng a?
3 2 5/2 1/3
Question 5 Explanation:
a = b + ½ = [b+3]/2 b + ½ = [b+3]/2; multiply both sides by 2 2b + 1 = b + 3; 2b – b = 3 -1 b = 2 a = b + ½ = 2 + ½ = 2 ½ = 5/2 Question 6
WRONG
How many liters of 60% solution of nitric acid should be added to 10 liters a 30% solution of nitric acid to obtain a 50% solution? 25 20 15 10 Question 6 Explanation: 10L + x =10+x 30% + 60% = 50% 0.3( 10 ) + 0.6x = 0.5( 10 + x ) 3 + 0.6x = 5 + 0.5x 0.1x = 2 x = 20 L Question 7 WRONG If 2 x + 4 y – 5 z = 19 and z = 3, what is the value of x + 2 y + z ?
10 20 5
15
Question 7 Explanation:
2x + 4y - 5z = 19; where z = 3 2x + 4y – 5(3) = 19 2x + 4y = 19 + 15; 2x + 4y = 34, divide both sides by 2 x + 2y = 17, thus, x + 2y + z = 17 + 3 = 20
Question 8
WRONG
Grace can finish cleaning their room in 45 minutes. When her sister Abby helps her, it takes them 18 minutes to clean the room completely. How many minutes would it take Abby to clean their room alone?
25 30 35 20
Question 8 Explanation:
Grace: Rate: 1/45. Time: 18, Work: 18/45, Abby: Rate: 1/x, Time: 18, Work: 18/x, 18/45 + 18/x = 1 ; multiply both sides by 45x, 18x + 18( 45 ) = 45x, 45x – 18x = 810, 27x = 810, x = 30 min
Question 9
WRONG
A man is thrice as old as his son. In five years, he will be three years more than twice his son’s age. How many years old is the man now? 36 24 10 41 Question 9 Explanation:
let x – son 3x – man age 5 years from now: son = x+5 man = 3x+5 5 yrs from now, the man’s age is 3 more than twice the age of his son. 3x + 5 = 3 + 2( x + 5 ), 3x + 5 = 2x + 10 + 3, 3x – 2x = 10 + 3 – 5, x = 8, man = 3x = 3(8) = 24

If -6 is one solution of the equation x2+ 5 x + k = 7, where k is constant, what is the other solution?
2 0 -1 1
Question 11 Explanation:
-6 is a solution to x^2 + 5x + k = 7, substitute -6 to all values of x: (-6)^2 + 5(-6) + k = 7, k = 7 – 36 + 30, k = 1, x^2 + 5x + 1 = 7; x^2 + 5x + 1 - 7 = 0, x^2 + 5x – 6 = 0; factoring: ( x + 6 )( x – 1 ) = 0, x = -6 and 1

What is the 25thterm of an arithmetic sequence whose 7thand 20thterms are 20 and 59 respectively?
51 74 55 77 Question 1 Explanation: Given : a7 = 20 a20 = 59 a7 = a1 +(7-1)d a20 = a1 +(20-1)d 20 = a1+6d 59 = a1+19d
Solving by elimination, we can solve the value of d. a1+19d = 59 a1+19d = 59
- a1+6d = 20 +- a1-6d = -20 13d/13 = 39/13
d = 3
Solving for a1: Solving for a25: 20=a1+6(3) a25 = a1+24d 20 = a1+18 = 2 + 24(3)

all real numbers
all real numbers greater than or equal to -1/5 all real numbers greater than -1/5
all real numbers greater than 0 Question 12 Explanation:
Solving for the range is also the same as solving for the domain. y =
5y = 2x^2-1 5y + 1 = 2x^2
Range is defined as all possible values of y correspond to value of x. From the given equation must be greater than or equal to zero.
Therefore, range for given equation: all real numbers greater than or equal to -1/5 5y +1 Therefore, range for given equation: all real numbers greater than or equal to zero.
