There are two extra credit questions on the Biology test, and 27 questions overall [including the afore-mentioned two]. If Jo answers all questions [including the extra credits] correctly, and each is worth the same amount, what score does she earn?

Answer: 108%

27 − 2 = 25. 100 / 25 = 4. So, each question is worth 4%. 2 x 4% = 8% That’s how much the extra credit is worth. 100% (main test) + 8% (extra credit) = 108% (best score possible).
