  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?

  (1) 16 (3) 26
  (2) 24 (4) 28
  
  .5*x = (1/2)*x
  
  10 + (1/4)*(x - 12) =(1/2)x
  
  You should be able to solve for x from here.

  Thank you for the equation set up.
  
  I can take it from there.
