Question

Considering a Math test rated at 100%, comprising 17 questions with a fixed quote of either 5% or 6%, João answered three questions correctly: the first two and the last, all with a 5% quote. What classification did João receive on the test?

A. 82%
B. 85%
C. 88%
D. 91%

Answer 1

João answered three questions correctly on the test, each worth 5%, totaling 15% altogether. None of the provided options (A. 82%, B. 85%, C. 88%, D. 91%) is correct; the actual score he received is 15%.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine the classification João received on the test, we must calculate the total percentage of the questions he answered correctly. João answered three questions correctly, with each being worth 5% of the total grade. Therefore, the calculation we need to make is:

• 3 questions × 5% per question = 15%

Now we add the percentages of the three questions together:

• 5% + 5% + 5% = 15%

Thus, João scored 15% on the test by answering three questions correctly that were each worth 5%. The correct answer to the question posed is not among the provided options (A. 82%, B. 85%, C. 88%, D. 91%), as none of these reflect the 15% score João achieved.
