Question
Ned took a test with 25 questions. He lost 4 points for each of the 6 questions he got wrong andearned an additional 10 points for answering a bonus question correctly. How many points did Nedreceive or lose overall?
Solution
Let's break it down:
-
Ned got 6 questions wrong, and for each wrong answer, he lost 4 points. So, the total points he lost for the wrong answers is 6 * 4 = 24 points.
-
He answered a bonus question correctly and earned 10 points.
-
To find out the total points he received or lost, we subtract the points he lost from the points he gained. So, 10 - 24 = -14 points.
So, Ned lost 14 points overall.
