Jan was penalized -2 points for each wrong answer.
Given,

We need to find out how much was Jan penalized for each wrong answer.
How can we equally distribute a given value for a number of items?
We do that by dividing the total value by the number of items.
Example: 56 kg equally distributed for 8 people.
56 ÷ 8 = 7
7 kg for each person.
Find the total points received for 11 wrong questions.
= -22
Find the points each wrong answer carries.

Jan was penalized -2 points for each wrong answer on her exam. This was calculated by dividing her total penalty of -22 points by the 11 questions she got wrong. Therefore, for each incorrect response, she lost 2 points.
