 Problem Solving: 40 points
26. A grandfather is 60 years older than his grandson. In 12 years, he will be 12 more than twice
as old as his grandson. How old is the grandson?
Solution: Polya's 4-step.
1. Understand the problem Kung mali ang sagot at may solution: 2 points
2 points - Present age of the grandson.
2 points - A grandfather is 60 years older than his grandson
2 points - In 12 years, he will be 12 more than twice as old as his grandson

2. Devise a plan Kung mali ang sagot at may solution: 1point

4 points - Let x & y be the present age of the grandson & grandfather, respectively.

3. Carry out the plan Kung mali ang sagot at may solution: 5 points
Present age Future (12 years)
2 points grandson x x+12
2 points grandfather y y+12

3 points condition 1: A grandfather is 60 years older than his grandson

y=x+60
3 points condition 2: In 12 years, he will be 12 more than twice as old as his grandson
y+12=2(x+12) +12

Substitution:
y+12=2(x+12) +12
x+60+12=2(x+12) +12
x+72=2x+24 +12
x+72=2x+36
x-2x=36-72
-x=-36
5 points x=36

Substitute x in y=x+60
y=36+60
5 points y=96

Page 6
 4. Look back Kung mali ang sagot at may solution: 2 points
Present age Future (12 years)
2 points grandson 36 x+12 = 48
2 points grandfather 96 y+12 = 108

condition 1: A grandfather is 60 years older than his grandson

96 = 36+60
2 points 96 = 96
✓
condition 2: In 12 years, he will be 12 more than twice as old as his grandson
108 = 2(48) + 12
2 points 108 = 108
✓

Since all the conditions are satisfied, then values obtained are correct.
2 points The present age of the grandson is 36 years old.

Alternative Solution: Kung mali ang sagot at may solution: 5 points

Step 3: Carry out the plan
Present age Future (12 years)
2 points grandson x x+12 Condition1:
2 points grandfather x+60 2(x+12) +12 A grandfather is 60 years older than his
grandson.
2(x+12) +12-(x+60) =12
Condition2:
2x+24 +12-x-60 =12 In 12 years, he will be 12 more than twice as old
x = 12+24 as his grandson
5 points x = 36

3 points The present age of the grandson is 36 years old.

Present age Future (12 years)

4 points grandson X=36 x+12=48
4 points grandfather x+60=96 2(x+12) +12=108
