Question

Camden is taking a multiple choice test with a total of 50 points available. Each question is worth exactly 5 points. What would be Camden’s test score out of 50 if he got 2 questions wrong? What would be his score if he got x questions wrong

Answer 1

1. 40 points

2. 50-x points

Explanation:

1. Given that the total number of points is 50

2. Each question is worth 5 points

We can now calculate the number of questions by dividing the total points by the worth of each question

the number of question is = 50/5= 10

hence there are 10 questions available

if he misses 2 questions, which will amount to 10 points his score will be

50-10 = 40 points

Hence if he got x questions wrong his score will be

50-x points
