Gretchen and Ezia received equal scores on a test made up of multiple choice questions and an essay. Gretchen got 18 multiple choice questions correct and received 19 points for her essay. Ezia got 15 multiple choice questions correct and received 31 points for her essay.

 

 How many points was each multiple choice question worth?

Since they got equal total scores....let the value of each correct multiple choice question = V....and we have

 

18V + 19 =  15V + 31     subtract 15V, 19 from each side

 

3V = 12    divide both sides by 3

 

V = 4    →  the multiple choice questions were worth 4 points each
