Question

on a test consisting of 250 questions, jassi answered 40% of the first 125 questions correctly. what percent of the other 125 questions does she need to answer correctly for her grade on the entire exam to be 60%

Answer 1

test of 250 questions

40% of the fist 125 are ok, this means that 125(0.4) = 50 questions of the first 125 are ok

If jassi needs 60% of the 250 ok, that is 250(0.6) = 150

If of the first half she already has 50 questions ok, and needs 150, she needs to have 100 questions our of the second 125

If she needs 100 out of 125, this percent is 100/125 = 0.8, this means 80%

Answer:

Jassi needs 80% of the second 125 questions to be ok
