1 3/8 is left because 12 - 10 5/8 is 1 3/8
Answer:
0.80A + 0.92B = 63 .....1
A + B = 75 ......2
Step-by-step explanation:
Let A and B represent the total possible score in part A and B respectively;
Analysing each sentence of the question;
Sam scored 80% on Part A of a math test and 92% on part B of the math test. His total mark on the test was 63
80% of A + 92% of B = 63
0.80A + 0.92B = 63 ......1
The total possible marks for the test was 75;
A + B = 75 .....2
So, equation 1 and 2 provides a set of simultaneous equations that can be used to represent and solve the situation.
Solving the simultaneous equations, we will arrive at;
Part A = 50
Part B = 25
Fifty two thousand fifty two is equal to 52,052.
1/2 Because 4/8 is the same as 1/2 and 3/8 is smaller
