Answer 1

Answer:

60 ; - 40 ; 22 ; - 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Number of questions = 20

Rules :

Every correct answer scores 3 points.

Each incorrect answer loses 2 points.

A question not answered scores 0 points.

It is possible to finish the quiz with a negative score.

a)

Maximum score : answering all questions correctly :

(3 points * 20 questions)

= 3 * 20

= 60 points

b)

Minimum score is obtainable by answering all questions incorrectly ;

(-2 points * 20)

= - 40 points

c)

10 correct answers = (3 * 10) = 30 points

(14 - 10) = 4 incorrect answers = (-2 * 4) = - 8 points

Net total = 30 + (-8) = 30 - 8 = 22 points

d) Another student answers 18 questions,

5 are correct. How many points does she score?

5 correct answers = (5 * 3) = 15 points

(18 - 5) incorrect answers = (13 * - 2) = - 26 points

Net total = 15 + (-26) = - 11 points
