8. Find the area and perimeter of a rectangle whose length is 8 inches and width is 6 inches.
𝑝𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑚𝑒𝑡𝑒𝑟 = 2𝑙 + 2𝑤
= 2(8) + 2(6)
= 16 + 12
𝑝𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑚𝑒𝑡𝑒𝑟 = 28
Type equation here.

9. Mr. Seniro invested P150,000 at 5% for 8 years and another P150,000 at 8% for 5 years.
Which investment will yield higher interest and by how much?
𝐼 = 𝑃𝑟𝑡
P150,000 at 5% for 8 years
= (150000)(0.05)(8)
= 𝑃60000
P150,000 at 8% for 5 years
= (150000)(0.08)(5)
= 𝑃60000

10. Determine the interest rate for P1,000,000 investment compounded annually if the value
of the investment after 5 years P1,300,000?
1300000 = (1000000)(𝑟)(5)
1300000
𝑟=
(1000000)(5)
𝑟 = 0.26
𝑟 = 26%
11. If P1,000,000 is invested at 8% compounded quarterly, how many years will the
investment grow to reach P1,300,000?
1300000 = (1000000)(0.08)(𝑡)
