88%

Answer 2

Answer:  Dakota scored 88% in math test.

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that Dakota's math test grade was 7 points less than his science test grade and the sum of the grades in both the grades was 183%.

We are to find the grades that Dakota got in his math test.

Let x% and y% be the grades scored by Dakota in math and science respectively.

Then, according to the given information, we have

$x=y-7~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)$

and

$x+y=183\\\\\Rightarrow (y-7)+y=183~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~[\textup{Uisng equation (i)}]\\\\\Rightarrow 2y-7=183\\\\\Rightarrow 2y=183+7\\\\\Rightarrow 2y=189\\\\\Rightarrow y=\dfrac{190}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow y=95.$

From equation (i), we get

$x=95-7=88.$

Thus, Dakota scored 88% in math test.
