If we assume that
x isthe number of multiple choice questions, and y is the number of word problems, we can write a system of equations like:
{ x + y = 38
{ 2x + 5y = 100
If we multiply the first equation by -2 we get:
{ -2x-2y = -76
{ 2x + 5y = 100
Now if we add both equations we get only equation with 1 unknown (y) :
3y = 24 ⇒ y = 8
Substituting the calculated value to the first equation we get:
x + 8 = 38 ⇒ x = 30
The solution:
{ x = 30
{ y = 8
means that:
The test had 30 multiple choice questions, and 8 word problems.

Answer: $244.83
Step-by-step explanation:
First find the original amount spent on dvds:
$12.95 * 4 = $51.80
Then, the sales tax (6.5% is converted to decimal form by dividing by 100):
$51.80 * 0.065 = $3.367
Add the sales tax to the original amount to get the total amount spent:
$51.80 + $3.367 = $55.167
Round to the nearest hundredth:
$55.167 -> $55.17
Subtract the total amount from the money received for his birthday:
$300 - $55.17 = $244.83
