Mathematics

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.

dsp73

Answer:

The persons saves 25% by buying one set of six ball instead of two sets of three balls.

I need the work Plz help!

zysi [14]

Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

In the first equation, sub in (-3x/2) for y:

3x+4y=12

3x+4(-3x/2)=12

3x-(12x/2)=12

3x-6x=12

-3x=12

x=-4

y=-3x/2

y=-3(-4)/2

y=12/2

y=6

Since x=-4 and y=6, (-4,6) is a solution.
