Question

Donovan took a 45 question math test and got 36 correct and 9 incorrect answers. What was the percentage of correct answers? (Round to the nearest hundredth)

Answer 1

80.00%

Step-by-step explanation

Donovan took a 45 question math test and got 36 correct.

To find the percentage of correct answers, we have to divide the number of correct answers by the total number of questions and then multiply by 100.

That is:

`(36)/(45)\cdot\text{ 100 = 80.00\%}`

80.00% of his answers were correct answers.
