To write 64/75 as a percentage we will first have to turn it into a decimal.


To turn it into a decimal, you divide the numerator by the denominator.


>>>64 divided by 75 is 0.8333333.


Now to turn the decimal into a percent, you multiply the decimal by 100. Or bring it two place values up.


>>>0.833333333 times 100 is 83.333.... repeating.


As a conclusion your answer is 83.33%.

Hello.


In order to find the percentage of the questions that were correct, we need to find the decimal value of 64/75.


64/75 = 0.853...


To convert decimals to percentages, you multiply the decimal by 100.


0.853... x 100 = 85.33..%


The percent of the questions that were correct is about 85.3%.
