Question

A college math professor has to grade 160 exams. He gives 12 of the exams to his assistant to grade. Then, the assistant gives 14 of her exams to a graduate student to grade. How many exams does the graduate student get?

Options:
1. 134 exams
2. 146 exams
3. 12 exams
4. 14 exams

Answer 1

The graduate student gets 14 exams.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the number of exams the graduate student gets, we need to subtract the exams given to the assistant from the total number of exams. The college math professor gives 12 exams to the assistant, leaving him with 160-12 = 148 exams. Then, the assistant gives 14 exams to the graduate student, which reduces the assistant's number of exams by 14 and increases the graduate student's number of exams by 14. So, the graduate student gets 14 exams.
