You score a 63/75 on you first test.
\n" ); document.write( " After your second test, your teacher tells you your test average is 88%.
\n" ); document.write( "The questions
\n" ); document.write( "Find the decimal equiv of the percent on the 1st test: 63/75 = .84
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "a. the second test had 75 points possible. What percent did you receive on the second test?
\n" ); document.write( "let x = no. of points (out of 75) you got on the 2nd test
\n" ); document.write( "\"%28.84%2B%28x%2F75%29%29%2F2\" = .88
\n" ); document.write( "mult both sides by 2
\n" ); document.write( "\".84%2B%28x%2F75%29\" = 1.76
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%2F75\" = 1.76 - .84
\n" ); document.write( "\"x%2F75\" = .92 * 100 = 92% on the 2nd test
\n" ); document.write( "x = .92 * 75
\n" ); document.write( "x = 69 points on the 2nd test
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "b. How many total points have you earned in the class?
\n" ); document.write( "63 + 69 = 132 points
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
