Question

A student answered 86 problems on a test correctly and received a grade of 98%. How many problems were on the test, if all the problems were worth the same number of points?

Answer 1

88 problems

Explanation:

98% of the total is 86 problems answered correctly.

x = (86/0.98)

x = 87.551
