Question

HELP PLSSS!!!!!!

A student missed 88
problems on a English test and received a grade of 2%. If all the problems were of equal value, how many problems were on the test? Follow the problem-solving process and round your answer to the nearest integer.

Answer 1

Answer:90 problems

Explanation:

To solve the problem, we can use the formula:% correct = (number of correct answers / total number of questions) * 100%Since the student received a grade of 2%, we can write:2% = (number of correct answers / total number of questions) * 100%Simplifying this equation, we get:total number of questions = number of correct answers / 0.02We know that the student missed 88 problems, so the number of correct answers is:number of correct answers = total number of questions - 88Substituting this into the equation above, we get:total number of questions = (total number of questions - 88) / 0.02Simplifying this equation, we get:total number of questions = 50 * (total number of questions - 88)Solving for the total number of questions, we get:total number of questions = 90Therefore, there were 90 problems on the English test

Answer 2

Let's start by using the formula for finding the percentage: percentage = (part/whole) x 100 In this case, we know the percentage (2%) and the part (88 problems), but we don't know the whole (total number of problems on the test). So we can write: 2% = (88/whole) x 100 Simplifying, we get: 0.02 = 88/whole Multiplying both sides by the whole, we get: whole x 0.02 = 88 Dividing both sides by 0.02, we get: whole = 4400 Therefore, there were 4400 problems on the English test.
