1. A boy got 50% of the questions on a test correct . If he had 10 questions correct out of the first 12 and 25% of the remaining questions correct, how many questions were on the test?
- A. 16
- B. 16
- C. 16
- D. 16
Answer: Option D
Explanation:
let
x = number of questions
Therefore,
correct answer = 50% of x
10 + 1/4 (x - 12) = 0.5x
10 + 0.25x - 3 = 0.5x
7 = 0.5x - 0.25x
7 = 0.25x
x = 7 / 0.25
x = 28
Therefore, they are 28 questions on the test.
