Answer 2

Answer:

So, lets go to the first posible number that ends in 8 and is multiple of 8 and greater than 16. This is 48. 48 = 6*8, this is, lets think about 6 correct answers that sum 48 points.

We now need to subtract a number to 48 that gives us 13. Which is?

48 - x = 13 <----> x = 35

So, we need a number of incorrect answers that sum 35. As every wrong answer sums 5 points, we need 7 wring answers (7*5 = 35):

8*6 - 5*7 = 48 - 35 = 13 points!!

There were 14 problems tried to solve
