ANSWER

Find out the how many 3, 4, and 5 point questions could there be.

To proof

Let us assume that the 3 points based question be = x

Let us assume that the 4 points based question be = y

Let us assume that the 5 points based question be = z

As given

An instructor wants to write a test with 25 questions

than the equation become in the form

x + y + z = 25

he quiz to be worth a total of 100 points.

than the equation is becomes

3x + 4y + 5z =100

As given

He wants the number of 3-point questions to be 4 less than the number of 4-point questions

x = y -4

Than the three equation are

x + y + z = 25 ,3x + 4y + 5z =100 and x = y -4

put  x = y -4 in the x + y + z = 25 ,3x + 4y + 5z =100

than

2y + z = 29, 7y +5z= 112

multiply 2y + z = 29 by 5 and subtracted 7y +5z= 112

10 y -7y + 5y -5y = 145 -112

3y = 33

y = \frac{33}{3}

y =11

put in the  x = y -4

x = 11-4

x= 7

put the value of x ,y in the x + y + z = 25

7 + 11 +z =25

18 +z = 25

z = 25 -18

z=7

therefore

numbers of the 3 point question be = 7

numbers of the 4 point question be = 11

numbers of the 5 point question be = 7

Hence proved

A university has 750 female students and 2250 male students. Thirty per cent of female students study chemistry and 60% of male
UNO [17]

Answer:

1/7 or 14.3%

Step-by-step explanation:

30% of 750 = 225  (females who study chemistry)

60% of 2250 = 1350  (males who study chemistry)

1575 = total students studying chemistry

P (female chemistry student) = 225/1575 = 1/7 (simplified)

1/7 = 14.3%
