Question

Ben score is 56 out of 79 marks what is his score as a percentage

Answer 1

71%, without rounding 70%

Step-by-step explanation

We know our total number of marks is 79 if we only get 56 out of 79 we take 56/ 79. You'll end up with a number of 0.7088. You will ALWAYS end up with a decimal point. Because its a percentage we move the decimal point over 2 spots making the number 070.88 the 0 in front of of the 70.88 gets removed so you're left with 70.88 so rounded it would be 71%. Hope this helps
