Deanna gets 3 problems incorrect on her math quiz and scores 85%. How many questions were on the quiz?

Mathematics
1 answer:
katrin2010 [14]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

There were 20 questions on the quiz

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question, we are concerned with knowing the number of questions on a quiz, given that Deana had a certain percentage after scoring an amount of marks.

We proceed as follows;

Let the number of questions on the quiz be X.

Now, she got 85% by making 3 incorrect choices. This means the percentage of questions she got incorrectly would be 100-85 = 15%

what we are saying is that it is just 15% of her questions that were wrong.

This mathematically;

15% of x = 3

15/100 * x = 3

15x = 3 * 100

15x = 300

x = 300/15

x = 20

Circle O has a circumference of approximately 44 in. What is the approximate length of the diameter, d? inches
LenKa [72]
The distance around a rectangle or a square is as you might remember called the perimeter. The distance around a circle on the other hand is called the circumference. It is calculated as follows:

C = 2pi(r)

From this, we can solve for r and evetually solve for the diameter.

44 = 2pi(r)
r = 7.00
d = 2r
d = 14

Solve for x in the equation 2x^2-4x-9=29
Andrews [41]

Answer:

x = 1  ±2sqrt(5)

Step-by-step explanation:

2x^2-4x-9=29

Add 9 to each each side

2x^2-4x-9+9=29+9

2x^2-4x=38

Divide by 2

2/2x^2-4/2x=38/8

x^2 -2x =19

Complete the square

x^2 -2x + (-2/2)^2 = 19 +(-2/2)^2

x^2 -2x +1 = 19+1

(x-1)^1=2 = 20

Take the square root of each side

sqrt((x-1)^2) = ±sqrt(20)

x-1 =  ±sqrt(20)

Add 1 to each side

x-1+1 = 1  ±sqrt(20)

x = 1 ±sqrt(20)

Simplifying the square root of 20

x = 1  ±sqrt(4)sqrt(5)

x = 1  ±2sqrt(5)
