Question 270672: In a 100-item test, Ricky didn’t answer 6 questions. His number of correct answers is 4 more than 4 times his mistakes. How many correct answers did he get? Answer by vksarvepalli(154) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! 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
