Question

Haley made 88% on a history test. The

test had 50 questions of equal point value.
How many questions did Haley miss?

Answer 1

She missed 6 questions.

Explanation:

88% can be written as (88/100) or as 0.88.

You can set this as a ratio problem which is,

88/100 = correct/50

correct = (88/100)*50 (multiply both sides by 50)

correct = 44

So, 50 (total questions) - 44 = 6 incorrect questions
