  1. Answer:

    Step-by-step explanation:

    1)

    Correct answers: 2 x 70 = 140 correct answers.

    Incorrect answers: 30 x -1 = -30

    Total correct answers = 2 x 100 = 200

    140/200 = x/100

    x = 70

    The person’s score is 70%.

    2) 30 feet more minute

    We have gone through 45 minutes

    so, 30 x 45 = 1350 ft.

    It’s position after 45 minutes is 1350 ft.
