Question

Sally got 40/60 on a geometry text. What percent of the questions did Sally get if the text was out of 100 points?

Answer 1

66%

Explanation:

We know

Sally got 40/60 on a geometry text.

40/60 = 2/3

What percent of the questions did Sally get if the text was out of 100 points?

We take

2/3 times 100 = 66%

So, Sally gets 66% of the questions.

Answer 2

Explanation:

If Sally got 40 out of 60 questions correct, and the test was out of 100 points, we can find the percentage she got by using a proportion:

40 / 60 = x / 100

Here, x represents the percentage of questions Sally got correct.

To solve for x, we can cross-multiply:

40 * 100 = 60 * x

Simplifying:

4000 = 60x

Dividing both sides by 60:

x = 66.67

Therefore, Sally got 66.67% of the questions correct.
