Answer:

There were 55 questions in the test.

Step-by-step explanation:

After 20 minutes, Chenyqua has 35 questions left. After 40 minutes, she has 15 questions left.

We can see that in 20 minutes (40-20) she has done 20 questions (35-15)

Means she takes 1 minute for 1 question.

Lets suppose the initial questions in the test was = x

So, we can say that [tex]x-20=35[/tex]

[tex]x=35+20=55[/tex]

In the second phase, we can again see, [tex]x-40=15[/tex]

[tex]x=15+40=55[/tex]

Therefore, there were 55 questions in the test.
