Question

a student receive an 82% on the exam if there was 50 questions on the exam what ratio should the number of questions answered correctly

Answer 1

Hello Leinadavila, to find the answer, first turn 82% to a decimal by dropping the % sign and adding the decimal where the percent sign is located and then moving the decimal to the left 2 places so 82% = 82. = .82. Now times .82 x 50 = 41. Now we know the student got 41 out of 50 right so our ratio is
`(41)/(50)`
