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

Television and radio stations use four call letters starting with w or​ k, such as wxyz or krld. assuming no repetitions in the
katen-ka-za [31]
Here we are dealing with combinations without repetitions.

Let's write the form of a name.
For names starting with W:
W _ _ _
For names starting with K:
K _ _ _

We are allowed to use only lettrs from F to X. That's total of 19 letters. We are not allowed to repeat letters so for each letter we can choose from one less available letters.

Let's start with names begining with W. We will write how man possible letters we can choose from.
W 18 17 <span>16
</span>At second possition we can choose from 18 letters because we must not repeat letters and W is placed in front of X in alphabet.
At third position we can choose from 17 letters becasue we already chose two of 19 possible letters.
At fourth position we can choose from 16 letters becasue we already chose three of 19 possible letters.
To calculate total number of possible names we need to multiply these numbers:
1 * 18 * 17 * 16 = 4896

Same calculation can be done for names starting with K. We would get same number as solution.

Total number of possible names starting with W or K is 4896 + 4896 = 9792

A pencil costs .27 and a pen costs .32. You buy six pencils and the total cost is 4.18 How many pens did you buy?
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

8 pens

Step-by-step explanation:

<h2><u>Finding the number of pens bought </u></h2>

pencil costs 0.27

pen costs 0.32

6 * pencils + x pens = 4.18

6 * 0.27 + x * 0.32 = 4.18

1.62 + 0.32x = 4.18

0.32x = 4.18 - 1.62

0.32x = 2.56

x = 2.56/0.32

x = 8

<u>hence 8 pens were bought </u>
