Question

A math test is worth 100 points and has 38 problems. each problem is worth either 5 points or 2 points. how many problems of each point value are on the test? there are 8 five-point problems.

Answer 1

If there are eight five point problems, that is forty points already.  There are sixty points left and all of them must be two point problems, so there are 30 two point problems and 8 five point problems.  Please mark Brainliest!!!

Answer 2

Hey there,
There are 2 ways
1st way:
Since there are 8 5 point problems, 38 - 8 = 30, will give you the 2 point problems.

2nd way: 
8 x 5 = 40
100 - 40 = 60
60 / 2 = 30
Thus there are 30, 2 point problems.

Hope this helps :))
