PROBLEM SOLVING
(1) A family of four, two children and both parents, went to a grand cafe where the entrance fee per
person is age-dependent. It is posted that 90 (3/2) x was the entrance fee to pay, where x is the age of the
person. Altogether they paid 117 pesos for the entrance fee.
The mother said to the older child, who was half her age, "Nak, exactly an integer number of years ago
the day before your sister was born Dad, you and I went here and paid the same total entrance fee." The
older sibling then revealed, "I just want you to notice too that, in two years, Dad will be twice my age."
What are their ages?
(2) Ralph likes the taste of coke and sprite together. He poured a certain amount of dilute coke and a
certain amount of dilute sprite to fill a 500-mL container.
He wanted to know the concentration of coke and sprite in the mixture, so he prepared 250-mL of it to
add to 50-mL pure coke and the other 250-mL of it to add to 50-mL pure sprite. Before pouring the first
portion of the mixture to the pure coke, he spilled 30-mL of the 250-mL portion, and then he also spilled
10-mL of the second 250-mL portion for the pure sprite. He now had two new mixtures. After a test, he
found out that the mixture with pure sprite has 18 more mL of coke than mL of sprite in the other mixture,
and it also has 11.6 more mL of water than mL of water in the other.
