Kolten Hopkins · Answer 1

2000 problems

Step-by-step explanation:

1st week - 0.25x

2nd week - 1.10 (0.25x)

3rd week - 0.6 (0.25x + 1.10 (0.25x))

4th week - 320

Than to solve for the monthly quota, equate the sum of all the problems solved to x and determine its value. Thus, the students solved 2000 problems all in all.
