Problem solving:
During the first day of school in January, your adviser suggested an outreach program as your
last activity for this school year. Your class decided to visit an orphanage and give them a
simple children’s party. You decided then that for 40 school days, students could put any
amount in the Piso box. That day, somebody put a peso in the box. Then, Php10 was added in
the box on the second day, Php19 on the third day, and so on. The amount of money being
added in the Piso box is increasing in that manner throughout the 40-day period.
1) Suppose that being a very excited student, you want to figure out how much money the
class can save after 40 school days. What kind of sequence do you think these savings
generate
2) Using the given data, write the formula that will best give the correct amount in the box
after n days.
3) Suppose that the 29th day is your birthday, and you decide to put money in the box
instead of treating your friends to some snacks. Out of curiosity, you want to know how
much money was put in the box on this day. What is this amount?
4) Suppose you are the treasurer of the class, and you want to present to your classmates
how much money you could use for the outreach activity after 40 days, how could you
explain it to them?
5) After hearing the treasurer’s report, you figure out how much money will be put in the
box on the 50th day. Knowing this, present it to your classmates and convince them to
extend the number of days from 40 to 50 to be able to give a very memorable party to
the orphans. How will you show the computations?
