Jan received -22 points on her exam. She got 11 questions wrong out of 50 questions. How much was Jan penalized for each wrong answer?

Answer :

Jan was penalized 2 points for every wrong answer. 
-22/11 = -2 points or 2 points deducted from score for each incorrect answer.
Hope this helps!
total questions = 50
total points = 100 ........because every exam has a total of 100 points.

total points per each question = 100 / 50
                                                 = 2

She was penalized two points for each wrong answer.
