given?
a. 20% b. 60% c. 50% d. 40%

Soln: (450-270)/450 = 180/450 = 0.4, or 40%

105. If 𝑠𝑖𝑛2 𝑥 + 𝑦 = 𝑚, and 𝑐𝑜𝑠 2 𝑥 + 𝑦 = 𝑛, find 𝑦.

𝑚+𝑛+1 𝑚−𝑛−1 𝑚−𝑛+1 𝑚+𝑛−1
a. 2 b. 2 c. 2 d. 2

[𝑠𝑖𝑛2 𝑥 + 𝑦 = 𝑚] + [𝑐𝑜𝑠 2 𝑥 + 𝑦 = 𝑛] = 𝑠𝑖𝑛2 𝑥 + 𝑦 + 𝑐𝑜𝑠 2 𝑥 + 𝑦 = 𝑚+𝑛

𝑚+𝑛−1
1 + 2y = m + n  2y = m + n – 1  y= 2
106. Atty. Bravo collected P10,750 from Mrs. Rivera. After deducting the commission, the principal

semi – annually, how much did he pay at the end of two years?
a. P61,252.15 b. P57,245 c. P53,407.15 d. P65,539.80
