In a class of 28 students, 14 are taking German and 11 are taking Spanish. Of the students studying German or Spanish, 3 are taking both courses. How many students are not enrolled in either course?

63% Answer Correctly
26
11
15
6

Solution

The number of students taking German or Spanish is 14 + 11 = 25. Of that group of 25, 3 are taking both languages so they've been counted twice (once in the German group and once in the Spanish group). Subtracting them out leaves 25 - 3 = 22 who are taking at least one language. 28 - 22 = 6 students who are not taking either language.

April scored 84% on her final exam. If each question was worth 4 points and there were 280 possible points on the exam, how many questions did April answer correctly?

57% Answer Correctly
59
51
56
46

Solution

April scored 84% on the test meaning she earned 84% of the possible points on the test. There were 280 possible points on the test so she earned 280 x 0.84 = 236 points. Each question is worth 4 points so she got \( \frac{236}{4} \) = 59 questions right.
