Answer
A. -30 points
B. 60 points
Step-by-step explanation:
20 points for correct answer and 10 points deducted for wrong answer
Each deduction is -10 while each correct answer gives + 20
4 questions correctly and 11 incorrectly
= 4(20) + 11(-10)
= 80-110 = -30 points
Second round
7 correct, 8 incorrect
= 7(20) - 8(10)
= 140-80 = 60 points
Take 2,720/34,000=.0806. This means that 2,720 is 8.06% of the original number. In order to find the percentage of decrease, you take 100%-8.06%, which equals 91.94%. Your answer is 91.94%.
You have to solve this algebraicly.
To do this set up the proportion and add x to each term.
You get 4x and 7x
Set this equal to 33
4x+7x=33
Combine like terms and get 11x=33
Divide by 11
x=3
Now go back to 4x and 7x
Multiply them by x and get 12(4×3=12) and 21(7×3=21)
One group is 12 and the other is 21.
