Example Question #114 : Ssat Middle Level Quantitative (Math)
Joey's teacher takes off 5 points from student essays each day the essay is late. The essays are scored out of 100 points. If Joey's essay got a score of 68, but he turned it in 3 days late, what would his score have been if he had turned the essay in on time?
Given that Joey's essay was 3 days late, he lost 15 points. This is because he loses 5 points for each day that it is late, and having turned it in 3 days late, lost 15 points.
Joey's final score (68) will be equal to his original grade, minus the penalty.
If we add 15 to the score that ultimately received, the sum is 83.
If Joey had turned his essay in on time, he would have earned a score of 83.

Example Question #33 : How To Add Variables
Jack has a collection of coins. He gives Brett most of his collection, such that Brett now has twice as many coins as Jack. If there are 36 coins in the collection, how many coins does Jack now have?
If Jack has a collection of 36 coins and gives Brett most of his collection, such that Brett now has twice as many coins as Jack, this problem can be solved by dividing the total into 3 equal parts, giving 2 of the parts to Brett and one of the parts to Jack
Example Question #34 : How To Add Variables

In solving for 
Next, the parentheses are solved for.
This simplifies to 
Example Question #1 : Expressions & Equations
Simplify the following expression:
Cannot be computed
When adding and subtracting variable, you can only combine like variables.
That means all of the 
Then you just add and subtract the constants normally so 
So the final answer is 
Example Question #31 : How To Add Variables
Simplify:
Begin by distributing the 
Next, group the like terms:
Finally, combine the like terms:
Example Question #31 : How To Add Variables
When adding variables, we must add all of the like variables together but then combine them into one singular value at the end. True or False
False
True
False
When adding variables, it is true that you must first add all of the like variables. But then they are left separate to have an expression with the different variables differentiated.
