In a test, +3 marks are given for every correct answer and -1 are given for every incorrect answer (i) Sona scored +20 marks tho
ugh she got 10 correct answers. How many incorrect answers has she attempted??
1 answer:
Answer:
10 incorrect answers
Step-by-step explanation:
Correct answer = +3
Incorrect answer = - 1
Mark scored = 20
Number of correct answers = 10
Let:
Incorrect answers = y
Hence, we can fashion out the expression for total score :
(Number of correct answers * score per Correct answer + number of incorrect * score per incorrect) = total score
(10 * 3) + (y * - 1) = 20
30 - y = 20
-y = 20 - 30
-y = - 10
y = 10

Take the numbers to one side
<span>(x-2/3)+(1/60)=(5/6)
x-2/3= 5/6 - 1/60
x-2/3 = 49/60
x - 2 = 49/20
x = 49/20 + 2
x = 89/20
The answer is: x = 89/20 or x = 4.45.
