In a 100-item test, Ricky didn�t answer 6 questions
so he attempted 94 questions in total
let the number of correct answers he got be = c
then number of mistakes will be 94-c

given, his number of correct answers is 4 more than 4 times his mistakes
so c = 4+4(94-c)
=> c=4+376-4c
=> 5c=380

=> c = 76
so no. of correct answers he got = 76
