Question

Can some one help me do this ;p

Answer 1

OPTION D: Between 7.33 and 7.34

Explanation:

The maximum score is 10. So, the marks for her mistakes would be deducted from 10.

Since, Maya has made 8 mistakes and each mistake costs her
`$ (1)/(3) $` marks.

For 8 mistakes, she would lose
`$ 8 * (1)/(3) = (8)/(3) $` marks.

Hence, the total marks she would get would be:
`$ 10 - (8)/(3) = (30 - 8)/(3) = (22)/(3) $`

= 7. 333... (approx...)

Hence, the value should be between 7. 33 and 7 . 34.

OPTION D is the correct answer.
