 Word Problems
 1.
Mr.Reyes makes a commission of 16%
on each sale he makes. How much is his
commission if he makes a sale of P8,500?
Given: Solution:
R = 16%or 0.16 P = RB
B = 8500 P = (0.16)(8500)

Unknown: P = ? P = P1,360.00
 2.Jackbought a book at P155. After using it for
one semester, he sold it at 70% of a purchase
price. How much did he sell it?

Given: Solution:
R = 70%or 0.70 P = RB
B = P155 P = (0.7)(155)

Unknown: P = ? P = P108.50
 3. A Bookstore sold 2,500 copies of books last
semester and 670 copies remain unsold.What
percent of the total number of copies did the
store sell?
Total Books = sold + unsold
2,500 + 670
Total books = 3170

Percent of books sold= 2500 x 100

3170
= 78.86%
