SOLUTION: Louann and Carla received equal scores on a test made up of multiple choice questions and an essay. Louann got 14 multiple choice questions correct and received 24 points for her e

Let x be the number of points per each multiple choice question.


In total, Louann received 14x + 24 points;

           Carla received 16x + 14 points.


Their points are equal


    14x + 24 = 16x + 14,

or

    24 - 14 = 16x - 14x

       10   = 2x

        x   = 10/2 = 5.


ANSWER.  Each multiple choice question is worth 5 points.
