Answer:
There were 20 questions on the quiz
Step-by-step explanation:
In this question, we are concerned with knowing the number of questions on a quiz, given that Deana had a certain percentage after scoring an amount of marks.
We proceed as follows;
Let the number of questions on the quiz be X.
Now, she got 85% by making 3 incorrect choices. This means the percentage of questions she got incorrectly would be 100-85 = 15%
what we are saying is that it is just 15% of her questions that were wrong.
This mathematically;
15% of x = 3
15/100 * x = 3
15x = 3 * 100
15x = 300
x = 300/15
x = 20

If a chef bought 9 apples and each pie takes 2 apples then all we have to do is divide.
9 / 2 = 4.5
4 full pies can be made with 9 apples.
4 x 2 = 8 (apples were used to make 4 pies.)
9 - 8 = 1 (apple remaining)
If one pie needs 2 apples, subtract.
2 - 1 = 1 (pies the chef needs to make the last one)
-------------------------------------------------
Answer: The last pie would need 1 more apple.

Hope This Helped! Good Luck!
Okay. You can decompose 749 with these ways:
700 + 40 + 9
or
500 + 200 + 40 + 9
Answer:
x=1/2
Step-by-step explanation:
First you distribute the 8 over the (x-3) giving you 8x-24. Do the same for 2x and (4-17). That should give you 8x-34x.
Your equation should look like : 8x-24+7=8x-34x
Next try to balance out your equation. You want your x's all by themselves in order to solve.
The 8x's cancel eachother out so you have -24+7= -34x.
Add the like terms of -24 and 7 to get -17.
Equation: -17= -34x
Divide both sides by -34 to get x by itself.
-17/-34 = x
Reduce by dividing the numerator and denominator by 17 to get -1/-2
Since they are both negative the fraction turns positive.
So the answer should be x=1/2
