Question

For one English test, Peter had to answer 24 questions. Of these 24 questions, Peter answered 6 of them correctly. What percent did Peter get on his English test?

a) 25%
b) 33.3%
c) 50%
d) 75%

Answer 1

Peter got 25% of the questions correct on his English test, by dividing 6 (correct answers) by 24 (total questions) and multiplying the result by 100.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the percentage of questions Peter got correct on his English test, we divide the number of questions he answered correctly by the total number of questions, and then multiply by 100. Peter answered 6 out of 24 questions correctly.

The calculation is as follows:
Percentage = (Number of correct answers / Total number of questions) × 100
Percentage = (6 / 24) × 100
Percentage = 0.25 × 100
Percentage = 25%

Therefore, the correct answer is:
a) 25%.
