Copy of General Mathematics - Problem Solving Non AI
● AI-assisted group: You may use an AI tool (e.g., ChatGPT) to assist you in solving the
following mathematical problems. Ensure all steps are shown clearly and demonstrate
your understanding of the concepts involved.
● Non-AI group: Complete the tasks without the use of any AI tools. Show all steps
clearly, demonstrating your understanding of the concepts involved.
Instructions:
Solve each problem according to the instructions provided for your group. Show all steps and
write solutions clearly.
Problems
1. System of Equations:
Solve for x and y:
3x+2y=12
x-y=2
3x+2y=12
-2x-2y = -4
x=8
Finding y:
(8)-y=2
y = -8+2
y=-6
5x−3=2x+95x - 3 = 2x + 95x−3=2x+9
Solution:
I = $480
4. Quadratic Equation
Solve for x in the equation:
x2−5x+6=0
Solution:
I do not know
5. Percentage Problem
If a student scored 45 out of 60 on an exam, what is their percentage score?
Solution:45/60 = 0.75
6. Discount Calculation
A store offers a 20% discount on an item that originally costs $150. What is the
discounted price?
Solution: DP = $150 (1 - 0.20)
DP = 120$
7. Proportion Problem
Solve for xxx in the proportion:
45 = 15 × 4/5 = x/15
Solution:
I do not know
8. Average Calculation
Find the average of the following numbers: 12, 15, 18, 21, and 24.
Solution: 12 + 15 + 18 + 21 + 24 = 90/5 = 18
9. Distance-Speed-Time Problem
A car travels at 60 km/h. How long will it take to cover a distance of 150 km?
Solution: It’s 2 hours and 30 minutes by just doing 60 (per hr) +60 (per hr) = 120 (2 hours) + 30
(30 minutes) = 150 (2 hours 30 minutes)
General Mathematics - Problem Solving Evaluation Rubric (Total: 2 Points per Problem)
Scoring Guide:
● 1 Point: Solution is accurate, steps are shown clearly, and mathematical notation is
used correctly.
● 0 Points: Solution is incorrect or lacks clarity in the reasoning or steps.
● Awarded only if the incorrect answer still shows a sound approach or partial
understanding.
● The student demonstrates partial conceptual knowledge or follows the correct initial
steps.
● The mistake might be due to minor errors, such as calculation mistakes, rather than
conceptual misunderstanding.
