Answer 1

George got 65% of the questions correct on his Math test, which is calculated by dividing the number of correct answers by the total number of questions and multiplying by 100, then rounding to the nearest whole number.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks to calculate the percentage of questions George got correct on his Math test. He got 36 out of 55 questions correct. To find the percentage, we divide the number of correct answers by the total number of questions and then multiply by 100.

Percentage = (Number of Correct Answers / Total Number of Questions) × 100

Percentage = (36 / 55) × 100

Percentage = 0.6545 × 100

Percentage = 65.45%

When we round 65.45% to the nearest whole number, we get 65%. So the correct answer is A) 65%.
