Answer:

There were 49 questions on this Geometry test.

Explanation:

You can start by setting up a proportion:

x = total number of questions on Geometry test


(37)/(x) =
(75.51)/(100)

Now, to solve for x, cross multiply:

75.51x = 3700

Finally, isolate x and solve:

x = 49.0001324328

This is very close to 49.
