Question 1094334: On a two part exam, Kevin answered 72% of the questions in part-A and 80% of the questions in part-B correctly. In both parts together he answered 75% of the questions correctly. If there are 30 questions in part-B, how many questions are in part-A? Answer by richwmiller(17219) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! .72a+.8b=.75(a+b)
b=30
.72a+.8*30=.75(a+30)
.72a+.8*30=.75a+.75*30
.8*30-.75*30=.75a-.72a
.05*30=.03a
5*30=3a
50=a
check
.72*50+.80*30=.75(80)
.72*50+.80*30=60
60=60
ok
