n a test,correct answers carry +3 marks and wrong answers carry -1 marks.Ramesh answered all the questions.He scored 79 marks,though he maked 5 mistakes.Find the number of correct answers?

Sagot :

Answer:

The number of correct answers is 28

Step-by-step explanation:

The value of a correct answer = +3

The value of a wrong answer = -1

The number of questions Ramesh answered = All the questions

The number of mistakes in the question = 5,

Let x represent the number of correct answers therefore, we get;

+3 × x + (-1) × 5 = 79

∴ x = (79 - (-1) × 5)/+3 =  28

The number of correct answers, x = 28
