There were 50 questions on her exam.

To find this answer, first make the percentage a decimal by dividing 72 by 100. This will give you 0.72, which you divide into 36 (36 ÷ 0.72). Doing so reverses the percentage, and gives you the total amount of questions. Thus meaning your answer is 50.

I hope this helps!!
