Mr. Jacks gave the students in his science class a test with two types of questions: multiple choice and short answer.

. There were 41 questions worth a total of 100 points.
The multiple choice questions were worth 2 points each, and the short answer questions were worth 4 points each.
Let Mrepresent the number of multiple choice questions on the test and Srepresent the number of short answer questions on the test. Which system of
equations can be used to determine the number of each type of question on the test? pls help

Answer 1

Choice B:

2M + 4S = 100

M + S = 41

Explanation:

2M [multiple choice questions were worth 2 points each]

4S [short answer questions were worth 4 points each]

= 100 [worth a total of 100 points.]

2M + 4S = 100

M + S = 41 [There were 41 questions]
