Question

If Larry gets 5% of 80 questions wrong, how many did he get correct? Provide an explanation :)

A. 8
B. 70
C. 4
D. 76

Answer 1

5% of 80 is 4, so he got 4 wrong
80-4=76
he got 76 correct

Answer 2

The answer is D.

Explanation:

Given that Larry wrong 5% of the questions and he correct the remaining 95%. So in order to find how many questions he correct, first, you have to convert the percentage to decimal by dividing it by 100 :

`95\% = (95)/(100) = 0.95`

Next, you have to multiply by the total number of questions :

`0.95 * 80 = 76 \: questions`
