Again we can set this up as two simultaneous equations
2 marks for each correct answer A
0 marks for a non-attempt (not interested in these)
1 mark for an incorrect answer B
A+B=20 (she only answered 4/5 of 25 questions)
2A+B=22 based on the marks
solve the two for A
2 marks for each correct answer A
0 marks for a non-attempt (not interested in these)
1 mark for an incorrect answer B
A+B=20 (she only answered 4/5 of 25 questions)
2A+B=22 based on the marks
solve the two for A
