Problem Set

1. Alice, Ben and Carl collect stamps. They exchange stamps among
themselves according to the following scheme: Alice gives Ben as
many stamps as Ben has and Carl as many stamps as Carl has. After
that, Ben gives Alice and Carl as many stamps as each of them has,
and then Carl gives Alice and Ben as many stamps as each has. If
each finally has 80 stamps, with how many stamps does Ben start?
2. In order to encourage his son in the study of algebra, a father
promised the son 12 pesos for every problem solved correctly and to
fine him 8 pesos for each incorrect solution. After 25 problems
neither owed anything to the other. How many problems did the boy
solve correctly?
3. Find 3 solids and their measurements whose volume is 120 cubic
units.
4. If a pup is worth a pooch and a mutt, and a pup and a pooch are worth one bird
dog, and two bird dogs are worth three mutts, how many pooches is a pup
worth?
5. If it is now 08:15 pm, what time will it be in 431,999,999,995 minutes from now?
6. Find the units digit for the sum 1335  5730  3433.
7. If the marbles in a bag are removed two at a time, one marble will remain. If the
marbles are removed three at a time, two marbles will remain. If the marbles are
removed four, five, or six at a time, then three, four, and five marbles will remain,
respectively. But if they are taken out seven at a time, no marbles will be left
over. Find the least number of marbles that could be in the bag.
8. The five starters for the Seaside Shooters scored all the team’s points in the final
basketball game of the season. Regina Reporter covered the game, but later her
notes were accidentally destroyed. Fortunately she had recorded some interviews
with the players, but when she played them back, only a few quotes seemed
relevant to the scoring. She knew the final score was 95 – 94. Using the players’
observations, determine how many point each of them scored.
Kellene: Everybody’s totals were odd numbers.
Sara: Donna was fourth highest with 17 points. I scored 12more
points than Kellene
Martina: Kellene and I scored a total of 30 points. I outscored her.
Heather: The last digit in everybody’s score was different.
Donna: Our highest scorer had 25 points.
