Answer:
The maximum number of points is [tex]140\ points[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
Essay question represent the 10% on Mrs. Moore's English final exam
so
To find the number of points in Essay questions multiply the percent by total questions and then multiply by the value of 10 points each
[tex]10\%=10/100=0.10[/tex]
[tex]0.10*50=5\ Essay\ questions[/tex]
[tex]5*10=50\ points[/tex]
The remaining questions are
[tex]50-5=45\ questions[/tex]
To find the number of points in the remaining questions multiply the number of remaining questions by the value of 2 points each
[tex]45*2=90\ points[/tex]
therefore
The maximum number of points is
[tex]50\ points+90\ points=140\ points[/tex]
