Word Problems/Rela Life Problems
Example no. 1
Problem: The total profit from selling x units of a product is given by Php 20x−200
pesos. Evaluate the total revenue when 15 units of the product are sold.
Given: x=15 Incorporating real-life
Evaluation: P for x units sold = 20x – 200 examples can engage

Example no. 2 You may choose other
A catering company charges a fixed fee of Php 2500 for an event, plus Php 100 per problems based on the
person for catering services. If 50 guests are attending the event, how much will the students' abilities.
total bill be for catering?
Total bill for catering:
Fixed fee for the event: ₱2 500
Cost per person for catering: ₱100
Number of guests: 50
Total catering cost: ₱2 500 (fixed fee) + (50 guests × ₱100/guest) =
₱2 500 + ₱5 000 = ₱7 500
Therefore, the total bill for catering for 50 guests would be ₱7 500.

Example no. 3
The total distance traveled by a car is given by the formula 50t + 100, where t
represents the time in hours. Evaluate the total distance traveled when the car has
been driving for 3 hours.
Given: 𝑡=3
Evaluation:
Distance for 𝑡 hours 50𝑡+100
Substitute t =3 50(3)+100
Simplify 150+100
Distance for 3 hours = 250 miles

Example no. 4
The temperature of an oven increases by 20 degrees Celsius every hour. If it started
at 100 degrees Celsius, evaluate its temperature after 2 hours. Given: The initial
temperature is 100 degrees Celsius.
Evaluation:
• Temperature increase per hour = 100 + 20x degrees Celsius
Subsitute the value of hours = 100+(20×2)
Multiply = 100+40
• Temperature after 2 hours = 140degrees Celsius
