解析 · Solution

Solution 1

First, calculate how many of each type of problem she got right:
Arithmetic: 70%⋅10=0.70⋅10=770\% \cdot 10 = 0.70 \cdot 10 = 7
Algebra: 40%⋅30=0.40⋅30=1240\% \cdot 30 = 0.40 \cdot 30 = 12
Geometry: 60%⋅35=0.60⋅35=2160\% \cdot 35 = 0.60 \cdot 35 = 21
Altogether, Tori answered 7 + 12 + 21 = 40 questions correct. To get a 60% on her test overall, she needed to get 60%⋅75=0.60⋅75=4560\% \cdot 75 = 0.60 \cdot 75 = 45 questions right.
Therefore, she needed to answer 45 - 40 = 5 more questions to pass, so the correct answer is 5
