10 years
20 years
15 years
5 years
8 ½ years

Ans: 1)

10 yrs. Let X= the # of years the population of both barangays will be equal.
15,000-20X= 5,000+80X

50
65
60
55
58

Ans: 3

60 workers W1W2 = d1d2
       40:W2 = 8days:12days
        8W2 = 12×40

15. The Maharlika Multi-Purpose Cooperative, Inc. has a trust fund of almost Half a Million Pesos. Part of the fund is invested at an annual interest rate of 6 percent and the rest is invested at an annual interest rate of 8 percent. If the income from both investments is invested at an annual interest rate of 8 percent. Of the income from both investment is P39,000 annually, how much is invested at each rate?
P100.000 at 6% and P400,000, at 8%
P80,000 at 6% and P420,000 at 8%
P75,000 at 6% and P425,000 at 8%
P25,000 at 6% and P425,000 at 8%
P50,000 at 6% and P450,000 at 8%

ANS: 5)

P50,000 at 6% and P450,000 at 8% P50,000x .06 = P 3, 000.00
                                                                P450,ooo x .08= P36,000.00
