Answer:
1. To find out how much money was left to Abe and Mine, we subtract the cost of the flowers from the amount they saved:
Amount left = Amount saved - Cost of flowers
Amount left = 58.40 - 50.50
Amount left = 7.90
Therefore, there was Php7.90 left to the two boys.
2. To calculate the change Angela received, we need to subtract the total cost from the amount she gave to the cashier:
Total cost = Cost of shoes + Cost of stockings
Total cost = 850 + (3 * 75)
Total cost = 850 + 225
Total cost = 1075
Change = Amount given - Total cost
Change = (1000 + 500) - 1075
Change = 1500 - 1075
Change = 425
Therefore, Angela received Php425 as change.
3. Let's assume the smaller number is x. Since the other number is twice as large, it would be 2x. The product of the two numbers is obtained by multiplying them:
Product = x * 2x
Product = 2x^2
Given that x = 0.75, we can substitute it into the equation:
Product = 2 * (0.75)^2
Product = 2 * 0.5625
Product = 1.125
Therefore, the product of the two numbers is 1.125.
4. To calculate how much Aling Nena got from selling the mangoes, we need to find the difference between the selling price and the buying price per kilo, and then multiply it by the number of kilograms:
Profit per kilo = Selling price - Buying price
Profit per kilo = 65.00 - 60.50
Profit per kilo = 4.50
Total profit = Profit per kilo * Number of kilograms
Total profit = 4.50 * 100
Total profit = 450
Therefore, Aling Nena got Php450 from selling the mangoes.
5. To calculate how much Amy spent for her birthday, we need to add the costs of the suman, fruit juice packs, and the cake:
Total cost = (Cost of suman * Number of suman) + (Cost of fruit juice packs * Number of fruit juice packs) + Cost of cake
Total cost = (2.50 * 35) + (10.00 * 38) + 475.50
Total cost = 87.50 + 380.00 + 475.50
Total cost = 943.00
Therefore, Amy spent Php943 for her birthday.
6. To find the number that satisfies all the given conditions, we can go through each condition one by one:
- The tens digit is less than 1: The only possible digit is 0.
- Divisible by 5: The only possible numbers are those ending in 0 or 5.
- The units digit is less than the hundred digit: Since the tens digit is 0, the units digit must be less than the hundred digit, which means it can be any digit from 1 to 9.
- Divisible by 3: The sum of the digits must be divisible by 3.
Based on these conditions, the number that satisfies all of them is 105.
7. To calculate the total cost of buying 3.75 meters of cloth, we multiply the cost per meter by the number of meters:
Total cost = Cost per meter * Number of meters
Total cost = 80.00 * 3.75
Total cost = 300.00
Therefore, the total cost of buying 3.75 meters of cloth is Php300.00.
8. To find the perimeter of the rectangular field, we add the lengths of all four sides:
Perimeter = 2 * (Length + Width)
Perimeter = 2 * (85.7 + 62.3)
Perimeter = 2 * 148
Perimeter = 296
Therefore, the perimeter of the rectangular field is 296 meters.
To find the area of the rectangular field, we multiply the length by the width:
Area = Length * Width
Area = 85.7 * 62.3
Area = 5331.11
Therefore, the area of the rectangular field is 5331.11 square meters.
