8%=0.08 and 100%=1 (100% represents the original weight in percentaje)
If x is the weight you can express: 1x-0.08x=15.1
solve for x:  0.92x=15.1
x= 15.1/0.92=16.1
The original weight was 16.41 ounces

Answer:

Old weight is equall to 16.413 ounce

Step-by-step explanation:

New weight = 15.1 ounce

Old weight = x ounce

(Old weight) -8% of old weight= new weight

X - 0.08x= 15.1

X(1-0.08)= 15.1

X*0.92= 15.1

X= 15.1/0.92

X = 16.413

Old weight is equall to 16.413 ounce

On a quiz, students were awarded a certain number of points for a correct answer and penalized a certain number of points for an
SVETLANKA909090 [29]
Given that the score of the student on the quiz was 25c - 10(15 - c)

It can be seen that the first term of expression for her score (i.e. 25c) shows that 25 marks were awarded to each correct answer.

The second term of the expression (i.e. 10(15 - c)) represent that 10 marks were deducted from each wrong answer.

Thus, the number of wrong answers is 15 - c.

The sum of the correct answers and the wrong answers gives the total number of questions in the quiz.

Thus, the total number of questions in the quiz is given by 15 - c + c = 15.

Therefore, there are 15 questions in the quiz.
