Question

Gideon took an online math test consisting of 25

questions. Each question was worth 2
points, and Gideon scored 42
points. What percentage of the total points did Gideon score?

Answer 1

Explanation:

25 questions, 2 points each.

that means there were 25×2 = 50 points in total.

Gideon got 42 out of the 50.

100% = 50

1% = 100%/100 = 50/100 = 0.5

42 is how many % ? as many as 1% (0.5) fits into 42.

so,

42/0.5 = 42×2 = 84%

he scored 84%.
