    A student appeared for a maths exam. He was given 100 problems to solve. He tried to solve all of them correctly but some of them went wrong. Any how he scored 85.
    His score was calculated by subtracting two times the number of wrong answers from the number of correct answers.
    Can you tell how many problems he solved correctly?

    Let no of wrong answer=x.
    so no of correct answer=(100-x).
    (100-x)-2x=85.
    100-85=3x.
    x=5.
    so the no of correct answer=100-5=95.
    Are you sure? This action cannot be undone.
