Question

Sean spelled 13 out of 20 words correctly on his srelling test. Write his test score as a percent.

Answer 1

percent means parts out of 100
x%=x/100


so 13/20=x%
13/20=x/100
multiply both sides by 100 to find x
1300/20=x
130/2=x
65=x

his score as a percent is 65%

Answer 2

Sean has scored a score of 65% on his spelling test
