#16 and #17. The solution shows two methods of adding three or more addends.

The students may


choose which method they wanted to use during the examination.

#20. It is an alternative solution for arithmetic series. This method was used by Friedrich Gauss and was
only applicable for the sum of the first nth consecutive numbers.

#28. As shown in each equation, we need to add all constant and then transpose it to the other side of
the equation to find x or y.

Solution: First, solve for 𝑥.

81 + 19 + 9 + 16 + 𝑥 = 131
𝑥 + (81 + 19 + 9 + 16) = 131
𝑥 + 125 = 131
𝑥 = 131 − 125
𝑥=6
Second, solve for 𝑦.

17 + 4 + 98 + 64 + 𝑦 = 184
𝑦 + (17 + 4 + 98 + 64) = 184
𝑦 + 183 = 184
𝑦 = 184 − 183
𝑦=1
Lastly, solve for 𝑥 − 𝑦.

𝑥−𝑦 = 6−1= 5
#29. The remainder is the number "left over" after dividing one number by another to produce a
number quotient. Based on the solution below, last left-over number was 6. Hence, 518 is not divisible
by 8 because it has a remainder of 6.

Solution: Find the remainder by dividing 518 by 8.


64
8 518

- 32
6
Answer: The remainder is 6.

#31. Below is the trick or technique in multiplying two numbers by applying the rule of addition and
distributive property of multiplication over addition.

Rule of addition because we can rename 150 into 100 + 50.

Rule of DPMA because we distribute 500 to 100 and 50.


This will help some students who are having difficulty on multiplying numbers in the usual method.

Solution: Another method in multiplying numbers is to expand 150 as the sum of the two
numbers.
500 × 150 = 500 × (100 + 50)
= (500 × 100) + (500 × 50)
= 50 000 + 25 000
= 75 000

Answer: The product is 75 000.

For number 34-36, in number theory, a number is divisible by 8 if the last three digits is a multiple of 8 or
zeroes. This technique will help the students on division. Instead dividing a very large number such as 4
or more-digit number then just use the last three digits of the number to divide it by 8.

For number 44-45, in percentage, base and rate.

Note:

The rate is always the number that comes before the word or phrase “of,” or “as large as” and the
percentage is the result of finding a part of the base.

#47. In multiplying any number by 0.01, 0.001, and 0.0001.

For 0.01, move two decimal places of the given factor to the left.

For 0.001, move three decimal places of the given factor to the left.

For 0.0001, move four decimal places of the given factor to the left.

#48 and 50. In adding integers with like sign, just add the values of the addends then copy the sign. If
unlike sign, subtract the values of the addends then copy the sign of the larger number. The technique
was it is easy to add integers with like sign first before adding it to the unlike signs.

#58, 59 and 63. Exponential notation is a form of mathematical shorthand which allows us to write
complicated expressions more succinctly. An exponent is a number or letter written above and to the
right of a mathematical expression called the base. It indicates that the base is to be raised to a certain
power. x is the base and n is the exponent or power.

Hence, if x is a positive number and n is its exponent, then xn means x is multiplied by itself n times.
#67. Prime factorization is a method of finding all the prime numbers that multiply to form a number.
Factors are numbers that are multiplied to get a number, while prime factors are the numbers that can
only be divided by 1 or itself.

#68. Change the numerator and denominator through the use of reciprocal process is a not a process on
prime factorization because it deals with whole numbers and not fractions.

#73. Counter-example means you will create an example to make the statement false.
1 1
#75. Below shown that (66 − 33) and − (66 − 33) are like terms with different signs. It
2 2
means without simplifying the expression, we can subtract them as it is and the answer is 0.
Solution: To simplify the expression, combined like terms.
1 1 1 1
(66 − 33) + (66 − 33) − (66 − 33) = [ (66 − 33) − (66 − 33)] + (66 − 33)
2 2 2 2
= 0 + (66 − 33)
= (66 − 33)
= 33
