Louann and Carla received equal scores on a test made up of multiple-choice questions and an essay.

Louann got 14 multiple-choice questions correct and received 24 points for her essay. Carla got 16 multiple-choice questions correct and received 14 points for her essay.

How many points was each multiple-choice question worth?

Louann= 14x+24 Carla= 16x+14 So basically this is just like solving equations. The way I did this was just put random numbers for x and then solve it. First attempt: 14(7)+24=16(7)+14 98+24=112+14 122=126 Okay the first one didn't work so I use 6 for x. Second attempt: 14(6)+24=16(6)+14 84+24=96+14 108=110
So 6 didn't work and you already should know that the answers should be between 1 and 5.
So now I going to do 5 for x Third attempt: 14(5)+24=16(5)+14 70+24=80=14 94=94
And so the answer is 5! :D The multiply choice questions were worth 5 points and Louann and Carla had 94 for their scores! I hope this help you out and clear for you! :D

Each multiple-choice question is worth 5 points. This was determined by setting up equations based on Louann and Carla's test scores and solving for x . The calculations confirmed that both students scored equally using this point value.
