If sally got 28 questions correct and received 70% on the exam, how many questions were on the exam

Mathematics

1 answer:

Furkat [3]3 years ago

7 0

Answer: 40

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of correct questions Sally got = 28 questions

Percentage of correct questions answered= 70% on the exam,

Total number of questions in the exam = Unknown

Let the total questions in the exam be represented as y.

Since Sally got 70% correctly, this will be:

70% of y = 28

70/100 × y = 28

0.7 × y = 28

0.7y = 28

Divide both side by 0.7

0.7y/0.7 = 28/0.7

y = 40

There are 40 questions in the exam.

"From a quantum perspective, if you observed yourself in a particular new future that was different from your past, expected that reality to occur, and then emotionally embraced the outcome, you'd be-for a moment living in that future reality, & you would be conditioning your body to believe it was in that future in the present moment."

Lunna [17]

Using the combination formula, it is found that she can select the shirts in 775,200 ways.

The order in which the shirt are chosen is not important, hence, the combination formula is used to solve this question.

Combination formula:

$C_{n,x}$ is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by:

$C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}$

In this problem:

3 shirts from a set of 17.

Then, 3 shirts from a set of 20.

They are independent, hence, to find the total, we multiply both combinations.

$T = C_{17,3} \times C_{20,3} = \frac{17!}{3!14!} \times \frac{20!}{3!17!} = 680 \times 1140 = 775200$

She can select the shirts in 775,200 ways.

0.03

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the formula y=mx+b

m= slope

b= y-int

Rate of change can also be interpreted as the slope.
