A test is worth 50 points. Multiple-choice questions are worth 1 point, and short-answer questions are worth 3 points. If the test has 20 questions, how
many multiple-choice questions are there?
O A. The number of multiple-choice questions minus the number of
short-answer questions is 50.
B. The number of multiple-choice questions times the number of
short-answer questions is 20.
O C. The number of multiple-choice questions plus the number of
short-answer questions is 20.

Explanation:

Let's start with the information you know.

Test=50 points

Short answer question=3 points

Multiple choice question= 1 point

There are 20 questions

I solved this by multiplying the question numbers by 3.

If there were 18 short answer questions, then you would solve

18×3=54 points

Too much, considering the test is 50 points.

How about 17×3?

That equals 51, again, too much.

16×3?

Equals 48. This would seem like the perfect answer, except there are 16 short answer questions, and to get to 50 points we would only need 2 multiple choice questions. That doesn't work, because this test has 20 questions and we would only have 18 questions.

15+5=20

There are 15 short answer questions and 5 multiple choice questions.
