ANSWER

80%

EXPLANATION

Donovan got 20 questions correct and 5 questions incorrect.

This means that the total number of questions he attempted in the test is the sum of correct and incorrect questions:

Total = 20 + 5

Total = 25

To find the percentage of correct answers, we have to divide the number of correct answers by the total number of questions attempted and multiply by 100 (per cent).

That is:

$\begin{gathered} \frac{20}{25}\cdot\text{ 100 = }\frac{4}{5}\cdot\text{ 100} \\ =\text{ 80\%} \end{gathered}$

That is the percentage of correct answers.

11. Four less than a number tripled is the same number increased by ten.<br> What is the number?

Sphinxa [80]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

first, we would set up an equation. let 3x-4 represent "four less than a number tripled". "a number" would be represented by x. let x+10 represent "the same number increased by 10".

set 3x-4 and x+10 equal to each other:

3x-4=x+10

next, we would solve this equation for x. first we would get the x together on one side of the equation. we would do this by subtracting x from both sides to remove it from the right side of the equation:

2x-4=10

then, we would get the 2x by itself. we would do this by adding 4 to both sides:

2x=14

finally, we would divide each side of the equation by 2 to find x:

x=7.

The number is 7.
