Answer:

12 problems

Step-by-step explanation:

All problems were of equal value

Let x be the number of problems in the test

We apply a rule of three

x -------------------------------  100%

(x-10) --------------------------- 17%

(x-10)*100%/(x)   = 17%

(x-10)/(x)   = 0.17

(x-10)   = 0.17*x

0.83*x = 10

x = 12.05

x = 12 problems

olga_2 [115]
To get the answer we can use proportion.
30 ------------- 100%
12 --------------x
crossmultiply now
30x=12*100%
30x=1200%      /:30 (divide both sides by 30)
x=40% - its the percentage of cars which finished the race.
100%-40%=60% - its the answer
