Question

Camden is taking a multiple choice test with a total of 50 points available. Each question is worth exactly 5 points. What would be Camden's test score (out of 50) if he got 2 questions wrong

Answer 1

Answer:

40/50

Step-by-step explanation:

The test is worth 50 points in total. Each question is worth 5 points. So,

50 points ÷ 5 points each = 10 questions

If he gets 2 questions wrong,

10 - 2 = 8

He got 8 out of 10 questions right.

Now, multiply by 5 to find his test score out of 50.

8 × 5 ÷ 10 × 5

= 40/50

His test score would be 40/50.

Hope that helps.

Answer 2

Answer:

40/50

Step-by-step explanation:

Each question is worth 5 points and there is a total of 50 points.

We want to find Camden’s score out of 50 if he gets 2 questions wrong.

His score can be found by dividing the number of points correct over the total number of points.

correct / total

First, let’s find the number of points that he earned. He got 2 questions wrong and each is worth 5 points. Multiply 2 and 5.

2* 5= 10

He got 10 points taken off. There is a total of 50 points. Subtract 10 from 50.

50-10

40

He got 40 points.

correct/total

correct = 40

total = 50

40/50

His score out of 50 if he got 2 questions wrong is 40/50.
