Question 717630: Marcy's literature test has 15 multiple choice questions worth 3 points each. The rest of the test essay questions worth 11 points each. The entire test is worth 100 points. How many essay questions are on the test? Answer by jndarrell(58) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Knowing there are 15 questions worth 3pts each means that there are 45 points in that section. (15*3=45)
In total your test is 100pts. Take the 45 away from the 100 possible (100-45=55). You have 55 remaining points left.
Knowing that this portion of the test is work 11 points each, divide the remaining 55 points by the 11. (55/11=5)
There are 5 essay questions on the test.
