Divide 68 by 85 = is .8 which is 80%

So 68 is their score out of 85
68/85
And her percent should be out of 100%
So you would use cross multiplication
68/85 = x/100 ; let x represent her test score
68/85 = x/100 -> 68(100)= 85x
6800= 85x
Divide by 85 on both sides
6800/85 = 85x/85
80=x so she score was 80%
