Mark got 14 problems wrong on his test. His score was 72% correct. How many problems were on the test? Please show work.

1 answer:

7 0

Consider that 100%-72%=28% represents the percentage of wrong answers. I would think as fractions as:
if 100% is the total number of answers and 28% are the wrong ones
as
if x is the total you have 14 wrong you can write:
$\frac{100}{28} = \frac{x}{14}$
x=(100/28)*14=50 questions

What is s in -5(s - 30) = -10?

Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

s = 32

Step-by-step explanation:

First distribute the -5:

-5s + 150 = -10

Add 10 to both sides

-5s = 160

Divide by -5 on both sides

s = 32

Please help!! Will mark BRAINLIEST!! <br><br> Find an equation for the graph sketched below:

Sedbober [7]

The equation for the graph sketched below is $y=-3 \cdot (-\frac{1}{3} )^x$

The given graph is an exponential graph and the standard exponential graph is expressed as $y=ab^x$

a is the y-intercept of the graph

(x, y) is any point on the graph.

Given the following from the graph;

a = -3

(x, y) = (1, 1)

Substitute the point and the y-intercept into the formula to have

$1=-3\cdot b^1\\\b = -\frac{1}{3} \$

Get the required exponential equation:

Recall that $y=ab^x$

$y=-3 \cdot (-\frac{1}{3} )^x$

Hence the equation for the graph sketched below is $y=-3 \cdot (-\frac{1}{3} )^x$
