Answer:

Rounded to the nearest integer, the test had 18 problems in all.

Explanation:

Given that a student missed 10 problems on an English test and received a grade of 44%, if all the problems were of equal value, to determine how many problems were on the test the following calculation must be performed:

100 - 44 = 56

56 = 10

100 = X

100 x 10/56 = X

1,000 / 56 = X

17.85 = X

Thus, rounded to the nearest integer, the test had 18 problems in all.
