Given:

Total number of questions = 50

Number of correct answers = 35

Number of wrong answers = Total number of questions - correct answers

= 50 - 35 = 15

Therefore, the number of questions she did not answer correctly = 15

To find the percentage Janet did not answer correctly, use the formula:


\text{ \%of wrong answers=}\frac{wrong\text{ answers}}{\text{Total number of questions}}*(100)/(1)

Thus we have:


\text{ \% of wrong answers = }(15)/(50)*(100)/(1)=0.3*100=30\text{ \%}

Therefore, the percent of questions Janet did not answer correctly is 30 percent.

ANSWER:

30%
