1. The elimination stage of the UAAP women’s volleyball competition is played in two rounds
where each competing team plays against each of the other teams once in every round. How
many games are played in the elimination round if there are eight teams in the given season?
2. Find the digit that is 50 places to the right of the decimal point in the decimal representation of
the rational number.
Example: inserting a value for rational number.
Let 25/99 be the rational number.
Modified Question (with values): Find the number that is 50 places to the right of the decimal
point in the decimal form of the rational number 25/99.
Solution:
25
= 0.252525252525 …
99
Since the decimal point has a repeating digit, therefore it is easier to identify the 50th place.
Therefore, the odd number in the right side will be the 50th place, it is number five.
3. A coffee shop is giving away a signature annual planner. In the mechanics, each customer has
to collect 24 stickers to avail of the said planner, and costumers can share stickers. At the end of
the promo period, Tito had the greatest number of stickers, more than enough to get the planner.
Unfortunately, Vic and Joey did not have enough. This is what they did: First, Tito gave Vic and
Joey as many stickers as each had; after this, Vic gave Tito and Joey as many sticker as they had;
and in turn, Joey gave Tito and Vic as many stickers as they had. At the end, each of the three
friends had exactly enough stickers to get a planner. How many stickers did each person have at
the start?
Initial Number of Stickers Quantity
Tito’s stickers 62
Vic’s stickers 6
Joey’s stickers 4
Total number of stickers 72
The initial number of stickers each person has from the start was summarized below:
Tito’s stickers = 62

4. Iza can earn 7800 pesos for doing 3 hours of office work and 2 hours of field work. However,
she gets 8,200 pesos if she works two hours in the office and 3 hours in the field. What is the rate
per hour of Iza for doing the office work and for doing the field work?
3𝑥 + 2𝑦 = 7800 (𝐸𝑄 1)
2𝑥 + 3𝑦 = 8200 (𝐸𝑄 2)
3 (3𝑥 + 2𝑦 = 7800)
−2 (2𝑥 + 3𝑦 = 8200)
9𝑥 + 6𝑦 = 23400
−4𝑥 − 6𝑦 = −16400
5𝑥 7000
=
5 5
𝑥 = 1400
3𝑥 + 2𝑦 = 7800
3 (1400) + 2𝑦 = 7800
4200 + 2𝑦 = 7800
2𝑦 = 7800 − 4200
2𝑦 3600
=
2 2
𝑦 = 1800
Checking:
3𝑥 + 2𝑦 = 7800
3 (1400) + 2(1800) = 7800
7800 = 7800
2𝑥 + 3𝑦 = 8200
2(1400) + 3(1800) = 8200
8200 = 8200
