Answer: 77.78%

Explanation:

Given : Donovan took a math test and got 35 correct and 10 incorrect answers .

Total number of answers in the test : 35+10=45

Now, the percentage of correct answers is given by :-


\frac{\text{Number of correct answers}}{\text{Total answers}}=*100\\\\=(35)/(45)*100=77.7777777778\approx77.78\ \%

Hence, the percentage of correct answers = 77.78%
