There will be 41% the method is like this the total paper marks was 100% and there was 50 question first divide 100 divided into 50 you will get 2 as the answer then 2 divided into 82% the answer will be 41%

Steps:

1. First, divide 82 by 100, since this is what you would have originally gotten with the ratio.
82 ÷ 100 = 0.82

2.
Then multiply it by 50 (since this is how many questions were on the test)
0.82 × 50 = 41 <----- (the number of questions answered correctly)

3. Now that you have the two numbers you need, you can assemble the ratio.

Answer: 41/50

Hope I Helped! <3
