The answer is:  "39 points" .
_______________________________________________________
Explanation:
_______________________________________________________
" x/ 50 = 78/100 " ;   in which "x" equals the number of points needed.

_______________________________________________________

To solve for "x" ; 
_______________________________________________________

Look at the denominators:  50 * (what value?) = 100.

→ "100 ÷ 50 = 2" .

→ So;  "50 * 2 = 100" ; 

So, let us look at the numerators:

x * 2 = 78 ; 

↔  2x = 72 ; 

Divide each side of the equation by "2" ; to isolate "x" on one side of the equation ; and to solve for "x" ;
_____________________________________________
 →  78 ÷ 2 = 39 ;

The answer is:  "39 points" .

Find the value of the expression:<br><br><br><br> 56 ÷ 7 + 7 × 3
miv72 [106K]
First, you have to apply the order of operations. 

Division and multiplication come first here and they go from left to right. So, 

56/7 = 8 
7*3 = 21 
Then, the addition. 
8 + 21 = 29. 

So the value of your expression is 29.
