Deanna gets 3 problems incorrect on a math quiz. Her score is 85%. How many questions are on the quiz?

20 questions.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let  x  be the number of questions on the quiz.

85 %  means  85  out of  100  (or  85/ 100  )

85/ 100   = 3/x

--->100-85=15

--->15/3=5

--->100/5=20  

Meaning each question was worth 5% and there were 20 questions.

tickets for the harlem globetrotters

show at michigan state university in

2010 cost $16, $23, or, for vip seats, $40.

total revenue = 16x + 23y + 40z

if 9 times as many $16 tickets were sold

as vip tickets,

x = 9z => x – 9z = 0, if 9 times as many $16 tickets were sold

as vip tickets,

x = 9z => x – 9z = 0, sales of all three kinds of tickets would

total $46,575.

16x + 23y + 40z = 46575, how many of each kind of ticket would

have been sold?

solve for x, y and z

x − 9z = 0

x − y − z = 55

16x + 23y + 40z = 46575

x = 1170

y = 985

z = 130
