Question

On her last science test, Mariah missed four questions. For those questions, she received a total of -20 points. On the retake, Mariah missed a quarter of the number of questions that she missed the first time. If the tests were scored the same way, how many points did she receive for missing questions on the retake?

-5
-10
-80
-16

Answer 1

5

Explanation:

in the beginning, she missed 4 questions and received -20 points. it means that each question missed is equal to -5 points.

So, finally, when she missed 1/4 of the four questions, it means that she missed only one question. So, she only received -5 points
