Question

A test has 25 questions. The pupil gets 3 points if the answer is correct. and losses 2 points if the answer is wrong. A pupil got 5 wrong answers. How many points did the pupil lose?

Answer 1

The pupil lost 10 points for providing five wrong answers on the test, as they lose 2 points for each incorrect response.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student has asked how many points they lost by answering five questions incorrectly on a test where each wrong answer results in a loss of 2 points. To calculate the total points lost, we simply multiply the number of wrong answers by the points lost per wrong answer. In this case, it's 5 wrong answers times 2 points per wrong answer, which equals 10 points lost.

So, the calculation is as follows:

• Number of wrong answers: 5
• Points lost per wrong answer: 2
• Total points lost: 5 wrong answers x 2 points per wrong answer = 10 points lost

The pupil lost a total of 10 points for the wrong answers provided in the test.
