Lucy has 20 questions in her science home work

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that,

Lucy correctly answered 70% of the questions on her science homework

She counted 14 correct answers on her paper

<em><u>To find: Number of questions in her science home work</u></em>

Let "x" be the number of questions in her science home work

From given we can say,

Lucy correctly answered 70% of questions

She counted 14 correct answers

70 % of total questions = 14 correct answers

70 % of x = 14

70 \% \times x = 14\\\\\frac{70}{100} \times x = 14\\\\0.70x = 14\\\\x = \frac{14}{0.70}\\\\x = 20

Thus Lucy has 20 questions in her science home work

How do you grow your own equations
natita [175]
You can formulate your own equations by analyzing the given problem and its statements. You can do some illustrations so you can understand it better. Introduce some variables and the rest is algebra. For example:

An orange costs $2 while a banana costs $1.5. How many oranges and bananas do you have to buy such that the total cost would equal to $20. You bought a total of 12 fruits.

First, you have to introduce variables. Let 'x' be the number of oranges and 'y' be the number of bananas. One equation you can get from here is knowing the amount of total cost: 2x + 1.5y = 20. Then, the other equation would be knowing the amount of fruits: x+y=12. You have two unknowns and two equations. Hence, you can solve the problem. Solving them simultaneously, you would get that x=4 and y=8.
