Answer is D) 5 mc, 15 t&f
you have two unknown variables, thus you need two equations

definitions:
a = quantity of multiple choice questions
b = quantity of true and false questions

100 points = a*11 points/question + b*3 points/question
20 questions = a +b

using 2nd equation, find equation for 'a':
a = 20 - b

substitute this equation for 'a' into 1st equation:
100 = 11a + 3b
100 = 11(20 - b) + 3b
100 = 220 - 11b + 3b
100 - 220 = -8b
-120 = -8b
-120/-8 = b
15 = b

resolve 2nd equation now knowing value of 'b':
a = 20 - b
a = 20 - 15
a = 5

verify solution is correct by substituting values into first equation
11a + 3b = 100
11(5) + 3(15) = 100
55 + 45 = 100
100 = 100 [OK]

verify solution is correct by substituting values into second equation
a + b = 20
5 + 15 = 20
20 = 20 [OK]

Pip, Angad and Nick share some sweets in the ratio 4:4:1. Pip gets 20 sweets. How many
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

45

Step-by-step explanation:

The 4 part of the ratio represents Pip's 20 sweets

Dividing 20 by 4 gives the value of one part of the ratio

20 ÷ 4 = 5 sweets ← value of 1 part of the ratio

Thus

Pip gets 20 sweets

Angad gets 20 sweets ( 4 parts of the ratio )

Nick gets 5 sweets ( 1 part of the ratio )

Total number of sweets = 20 + 20 + 5 = 45
