Let 'x' be the problems worth 2 points.

Let 'y' be the problems worth 3 points.

Since, there are 38 total problems.

So, x+y =38 (equation 1)

x = 38-y

Since, a perfect score is 100 points.

So, 2x+3y = 100 (equation 2)

Substituting the value of 'x', we get

2(38-y)+3y=100

76-2y+3y=100

76+y = 100

y = 24

x+y = 38

x = 38-24 = 14

So, 14 problems are worth 2 points and 24 problems are worth 3 points.

Total questions in the test = 38

Let 2 points questions be = x

Let 3 points questions be = y

As total questions are 38, so

x+y=38

From here, we can derive x as: x=38-y  ...... (i)

As given, few questions are 2 marks each and rest 3 marks each and perfect square is 100, so we get,

2x+3y=100   .......(ii)

Put the value of y from (i) in (ii)

2(38-y)+3y=100

76-2y+3y=100

y=24

Putting y in equation (i), we get

x=38-24

x=14

Hence, 2 points questions are = 14

3 points questions are = 24

Larry Calanan has earnings of S518 in a week. He is single and claims 2 withholding allowances. His deductions include FICA, Med
qaws [65]

Answer:

$482

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided:

Total earning per week = $518

Medicare, federal withholding, state disability insurance, state withholding, union dues = $15

charitable contributions = $21

Now,

The total deductions = $15 + $21 = $36

also,

Net pay = Total income - Total deductions

thus,

Net pay = $518 - $36

or

Net Pat = $482

You double the radius of a sphere. How does this affect the volume?
Afina-wow [57]
The volume of a sphere is defined as:
V=(4*pi*r^3)/3
then, if we double the radius of the sphere (r=2r):
V=(4*pi*(2r)^3)/3
V=(4*pi*(2^3*r^3))/3
V=(4*pi*r^3)/3*8

Then, the answer is that if you double the radius of the sphere, its volume is increased 8 times.
