Answer:

39%

Explanation:

Percent is ALWAYS out of 100, and the unknown is percent so our first part of the equation will be %/100. Now our second part of equation: is/of

Of represets whole the total, and we have our key word “Of the 120 math tests”. We have our total: 120; 47 is our part so second part of equation: 47/120.

Our equation so far: %/100 = 47/120 now we need to multiply the numbers that we have diagonally: 100% x 47; 47/100 we’re multiplying so we’ll move two 0s to the right. Answer: 4700

Now, we’ll divide 4700 by 120. 4700/120. Answer: 39.1666666667. Round to nearest whole means round to nearest ones.

Thus, the answer is 39.

Hope this is helpful!
