Let x be the number of 5 points question.
Let y be the number of 2 points question.

Total number of questions is 38
x + y = 38 

Total points is 100
5x + 2y = 100

x + y = 38 ------------- (1)
5x + 2y = 100 ---------(2)

From (1):
x + y = 38
x = 38 - y -------------- sub into (2)
5(38 - y) + 2y = 100
190 - 5y + 2y = 100
3y = 90
y = 30 ------------------ sub into (1)
x + 30 = 38
x = 38 - 30
x = 8

There are 8 5-point questions and 30 2-point questions

riadik2000 [5.3K]

Answer: for 2 cups, There are 232 Calories.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the calories in one cup be represented as C

3/4 x C = 87 calories

C = 87 X 4 / 3 = 116

unit rate is 116 calories per cup.

Step 2- Solving the number of calories in 2 cups

1 cup serving = 116 calories

2 cups servings = 116 x 2= 232 calories
