Problem Solving

Problem No. 1
The sum of the digits of a three-digit number
is 12. The tens digit is 2 less than the
hundreds digit, and the units digit is 4 less
than the sum of the other two digits. What is
the number?

Problem No. 2
The sum of the digits of a two-digit
number is 7. When the digits are
reversed, the number is increased by 27.
Find the number.

Problem No. 3
A theater has tickets at $6 for adults, $3.50
for students, and $2.50 for children under 12
years old. A total of 278 tickets were sold for
one showing with a total revenue of $1300.

were sold for the showing?

Problem No. 4
The measure of the largest angle of a
triangle is 10 more than the sum of the
measures of the other two angles and 10
less than 3 times the measure of the
smallest angle. Find the measures of the
three angles of the triangle.

Problem No.5
We learn about quadratic functions and their graphs. A
quadratic function has the form y = ax2+ bx+ c, in which a,
b, and c are specific numbers and a 0. Three distinct points
on the graph are enough to determine the equation.
(a) Suppose that (1, 5), (2, 10), and (3, 19) are on the
graph of y =ax2+ bx +c. Determine the values of a, b, and c.
Then write the equation of the function.

Problem No. 6
A total of $50,000 is invested in three funds
paying 6%, 8%, and 10% simple interest.
The yearly interest is $3,700. Twice as much
money is invested at 6% as invested at
10%. How much was invested in each of the
funds

Twice as many adult tickets were sold as children
tickets. How many of each ticket was sold?

Problem No. 8
The sum of three numbers is 14. The
largest is 4 times the smallest, while the
sum
of the smallest and twice the largest is
18. Find the numbers.

Problem No. 9
An airplane flying with the wind can cover a
certain distance in 2 hours. The return trip
against the wind takes 2.5 hours. How fast
is the plane and what is the speed of the air,
if the one-way distance is 600 miles?

Problem No. 10

The sum of the digits of a certain two-digit

number is 7. Reversing its digits increases
the number by 9. What is the number?
