Question

Write a proportion to find how many points a student needs to score on the test to get the given score. Test worth 50 points; test score of 84%

Answer 1

42

Explanation:

Test worth = 50

To obtain a grade percent = 84%

Score to obtain = x

Using the expression :

84% of test worth = x

84/100 * 50 = x

0.84 * 50 = x

42 = x

Score to obtain = 42
