Marla scored 70% on her last unit exam in her statistics class. When Marla took the SAT exam, she scored at the 70th percentile in mathematics. Explain the difference in these two scores.

The difference is that Marla's exam in her statistics class was graded by percent of correct answers, in her case 70%, while the SAT is graded into a curve, taking other students' grades also into account, and since she scored in the 70th percentile, Marla scored better than 70% of the students.

Step-by-step explanation:

Marla scored 70% on her last unit exam in her statistics class.

This means that in her statistics class, Marla got 70% of her test correct.

When Marla took the SAT exam, she scored at the 70th percentile in mathematics.

This means that on the SAT exam, graded on a curve, Marla scored better than 70% of the students.

we have three similar triangles, because each has a right angle and shares an angle.   let's write the angles in order: opposite to short leg, long leg, hypotenuse.

cab similar to bad similar to cbd

or as ratios,

ca: ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

we also know

ac = ad + cd

(ad+cd): ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

(ad+cd)/cb=cb/cd

we have cb=6, ad=5 and seek x=cd.

we reject the negative root and conclude x=4

answer: 4

35x 3= 105

step-by-step explanation:

35+35= 70   70 + 35= 105
