Brooklyn is taking a multiple choice test with a total of 40 points available. Each question is worth exactly 2 points. What would be Brooklyn's test score (out of 40) if she got 2 questions wrong? What would be her score if she got xx questions wrong?
Answer
Attempt 1 out of 2
Score with 2 questions wrong:
Score with xx questions wrong
If Brooklyn got 2 questions wrong, she would lose a total of 4 points (2 points per question x 2 questions). Therefore, her score would be 40 - 4 = 36 out of 40.
If Brooklyn got "xx" questions wrong, she would lose a total of "xx" x 2 points. Therefore, her score would be 40 - ("xx" x 2) out of 40.
