Answer:

The 24 questions were on the test .

Explanation:

Formula


Percentage = (Part\ value* 100)/(Total\ value)

As given

megan answered 18 question correctly on a test. that is 75% of the total number of questions.

Here

Percentage = 75%

Part value = 18

Put in the formula


75 = (18* 100)/(Total\ value)


Total\ value = (1800)/(75)

Total value = 24

Therefore the 24 questions were on the test .
