Question

On your biology test, you got 38 points out of a possible 45 points. Give your score as a percentage.

Answer 1

The Solution:

Given a score of 38 points out of a total of 45 points.

We are asked to give the above score as a percentage.

Step:

Take the ratio of the score to the total score and then multiply by 100.

`\begin{gathered} \frac{\text{ score}}{\text{ total score}}*100 \\ \\ (38)/(45)*100=(3800)/(45)=84.444\approx84.4\text{\%} \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the correct answer is 84.4%
