Question

Yuna missed 5 points out of 100 points on her math test.What decimal number represents the part of her math test that she answered correctly?

Answer 1

Hi there!

100 is 100%.

This means that 5 would be 5% and also is 5% of 100%..

Decimal form:

100-5=95.

If it’s less than 100, it’s be less than 1.00 since 100=1.00.

Therefore, 0.95 would be the decimal number to represent the part of her math test that she answered correctly.

Answer 2

If she missed 5 points out of 100 she got 95 right...
then divide 95 by 100
95/100 to get 0.95

So 0.95 is the answer
She got 0.95 of the answers correctly
