Respuesta :

Answer:

There are 5 multiple choice questions

Step-by-step explanation:

No of questions = 20

A test has 20 questions worth 100 points.

The test consists of True False question worth 3 points each and multiple choice questions worth 11 points each.

Let r represents the number of true false questions and y represents the multiple choice questions.

ATQ,

x+y = 20 ....(1)

3x+11y = 100 ....(2)

We need to find the number of questions of each type.

Multiply equation (1) by 3.

3x + 3y = 60 ...(3)

Subtract equation (2) from (3).

3x + 3y - (3x+11y) = 60-100

3x+3y-3x-11y = -40

-8y = -40

y = 5

Put the value of y in equation (1)

x+5=20

x = 15

The solution to the system is (15,5). Hence, there are 5 multiple choice questions and 15 true/false questions.
