Thread: How Many Questions on the Test?

A boy got 50% of the questions on a test correct. If he had 10 questions correct out of the first 12, and 1/4 of the remaining questions correct,how many questions were on the test?

Let x be the total number of questions. You know that there are at least 12 questions. So the remaining number of questions is x-12.

Can you set up the proper equation for me?

I'll be able to take it from there.
