Question

Item 4 Write a proportion to find how many points x a student needs to score on a test worth 50 points to get a test score of 40%

Answer 1

20 points

Explanation:

We need to find how many points x a student needs to score on a test worth 50 points to get a test score of 40%.

Let x be the number of points.

ATQ,

`(x)/(50)=(40)/(100)\\\\x=(50* 40)/(100)\\\\x=20`

Hence, a student needs 20 points to get a score of 40%.
