Let's start by seeing what percentage is incorrect.
100-85=15
So, 15% is incorrect when answering 3 problems wrong. So let's divide 15 by 3.
15÷3=5
So, each problem is worth 5%, let's divide 100 by 5. The reason I'm doing thiis is to find how many questions are on the quiz, since if you got them all right, it's 100.
100÷5
20
There are 20 questions, let's make sure this is correct.
If she got 3 wrong, she got 17 right. Let's calculate her percentage and make sure it is the right one.
17÷20
.85×100
85%
So, there are 20 questions on the math quiz.
Answer:
x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
<h2>Simplifying expressions:</h2>
5x - 7 - 5(7x - 12) + 7 = 0
Distribute (-5) to each term of (7x - 12)
5x - 7 + 7x*(-5) + (-12)*(-5) + 7 = 0
5x - 7 - 35x + 60 + 7 = 0
5x - 35x - 7 + 60 +7 = 0
Combine like terms.
-30x + 60 = 0
Subtract 60 from both sides
-30x = -60
Divide both sides by (-30)
x = (-60)/(-30)
x = 2
Answer:
The answer to your question is 20x + 21y + 14
Step-by-step explanation:
Data
Expression 1/5 (150x - 80y + 50 - 50x - 25y + 20)
Process
1.- Multiply 1/5 by each term
150/5x - 80/5y + 50/5 - 50/5x - 25/5y + 20/5
2.- Simplify
30x - 16y + 10 - 10x - 5y + 4
3.- Simplify like terms
(30x - 10x) + (-16y - 5y) + (10 + 4)
4.- Result
20x + 21y + 14
Answer:
64 books
Step-by-step explanation:
The first step is to find the number of books that will fit in the shelve per foot
= 40/5
= 8
Therefore the number of books that will fit perfectly in 8-foot shelf can be calculated as follows
= 8×8
= 64
Hence 64 books would fit in 8-foot shelf
Answer:
5.40
Step-by-step explanation:
Assuming w is the cost of one milk, let w =20
c = .25 (20) +.40
c = 5+.4
c =5.4
