Question

Shaunda answered 86% of the questions on her test correctly. If there were 50 questions on the test, how many did she NOT answer correctly?

Answer 1

Shaunda answered 7 questions incorrect

Explanation:

86% can be written as 86/100 or .86

When you multiply .86 or 86/100 by 50, you get 43 questions, which are how many questions she answered correctly.

50-43 = 7, so she answered 7 questions incorrectly.
