Define options AMCnumericChoices as variables

Added by Javier G 6 months ago

I would like to know if there is any way to define the option "exact"
in AMCnumericChoices as a variable calculated with fp package. T
tried the following but obviously it doesn't work:

\AMCnumericChoices{\solution}{digits=5,decimals=2,sign=true,borderwid
th=0pt,backgroundcol=lightgray,exact=0.05*{\solution},scoreexact=1}

Thank you in advance.

I think you have to compute 100*0.05*\solution with fp and pass the result.
Note that exact should be an integer.
With digits=5,decimals=2, numbers are written XXX.XX
Answers are considered as correct if abs(XXXXX-YYYYY)≤exact, where YYY.YY is the correct value.
Exemple: if the correct value is 10.34 and exact=7, 10.39 is a correct answer because abs(1034-1039)=5≤7.

Many thanks for your quick response| I had forgotten that "exact" option must be an integer
