Answer:

a) 77% b) Yes c) 16

Explanation:

17 out of 22 questions correct is set up as

17/22= .7727

round this number down and take it from decimal form to percentage.

.77 x 100 = 77%

You scored a 77% and you did score enough to pass.

The minimum number correct to still be able to pass is 16.

16/22 = .7273 = 73%

Answer:

77%, yes pass, at least 16

Explanation:

so 17/22 is 0.77, convert to percentage is 77%

77% is above 70% so you passed

if you guess and check, 15/22 is 68%. since thats just a bit lower than 70%, u need at least 16 questions to pass

yw in advance :))
