Matt had 60 questions correct on a Percent’s Chapter Test that had 150 one-mark questions. What was his mark written as a percentage?

His mark, as a percentage, was of 40%.

Step-by-step explanation:

Mark as a percentage:

His mark as a percentage is the number of questions correct multiplied by 100% and divided by the number of questions.

In this problem:

60 questions correct out of 150. So

60*100%/150 = 40%

His mark, as a percentage, was of 40%.

the direct variation says that:

then the equation is of the form is given by:

            where k is the constant variation.

from the given table:

consider any value of x and m(x)=y

x = 2 and m(x)=y = 3

substitute these value in [1]; we have;

divide both sides by 2 we get;

⇒

check:

put x = -1 and m(x) = -1.5

substitute in the equation:

-1.5 = -1.5                   true

therefore, the function m(x) represents a direct variation
