Question

To win a trivia game you must score 90 points each correct answer is worth 1 3/4 points, each incorrect point is worth -1/4 points if he gets 58 questions correct and 22 questions incorrect, what is his score?

Answer 1

96 because make 1 3/4 an improper fraction and turn into a decimal it will be 1.75 then multiple by 55(how many you got right) it’ll be 101.5 then 1/4= .25 in decimal form so multiple that by 22(how many you got incorrect) and it’ll be 5.5 so you’ll do 101.5 - 5.5 and it’ll be 96 hope it helps!!
