Answer: there were 40 questions on her math final.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the total number of questions in the math test.

Mary got 85% correct on her math test. This means that the number of questions that she got right is

85/100 × x = 0.85 × x = 0.85x

This also means that the number of questions that she missed would be

x - 0.85x = 0.15x

Therefore, if Mary missed 6 questions, it means that

0.15x = 6

Dividing both sides of the equation by 0.15, it becomes

0.15x/0.15 = 6/0.15

x = 40

Step-by-step explanation:

One ninth would be less than one seventh because you would have to cut let's say a circle into more pieces, making each piece smaller.

Please help!! Write the sum using summation notation, assuming the suggested pattern continues. -9 - 4 + 1 + 6 + ... + 66

fiasKO [112]

$r=-4-(-9)=-4+9=5 \\ \\ a_{1}=-9 \\ \\ a_{n}=66 \\ \\ a_{n}=a_{1}+(n-1)r \\ \\ -9+5(n-1)=66 \\ \\ -9+5n-5=66 \\ \\ 5n-14=66 \\ \\ 5n=80 \\ \\ n=16 \\ \\ S_{n}= \frac{a_{1}+a_{n}}{2} *n \\ \\ S_{n}= \frac{-9+66}{2}*16=57*8=456$

Brian and Christina started keeping track of their workouts. Brian did 85 sit-ups the first week and 90 sit-ups each week after

IrinaK [193]

Brian-90×5+85=535

Christina-90×5+65=515

So after 5 weeks Brian will do 535 push ups and Christina will have done 515.
