Answer:

The number of question Michelle must answer correctly to get an A is 46

Explanation:

The test question are 50 in number. Each question is worth 2 points. The highest possible score Michelle can get is 50 multiplied by 2 which is equal to 100. If Michelle can answer the whole question correctly , she will definitely get a score of 100.

The question ask us to calculate the number of questions Michelle must answer correctly to get an A. Note, to get an A , one must get at least a score of 92.

The score can only be an even number since it is a multiple of 2. Recall each question has 2 points. To get a score of 92, the number of question she must answer correctly will be 92 divided by the points of each question.

92/2 = 46

The number of question Michelle must answer correctly to get an A is 46
