Question

Alyssa took a math test that had 25 questions. She answered 17 questions correctly.What percent of the questions did Alyssa get correct?

Answer 1

Answer:68 percent

Explanation:

Let a be the percent

a% of 25=17

a/100 x 25=17

25a/100=17

Cross multiplying we get

25a=100 x 17

25a=1700

Divide both sides by 25

25a/25=1700/25

a=68

Answer 2

68%

Explanation:

17/25 = 0.68

0.68 x 100 = 68

Therefore, Alyssa got 68% of the questions correct.
