Answer:

76%

Explanation:

Thomas got 19/25 marks.

** Note: Percents are always out of 100.

We don't know how many marks he got out of 100.

=> 19/25 = x/100

There are two ways to solve it from now.

=> Multiply 19 and 100; 25 and x

=> 25x = 1900

Next, Divide 25 on each side.

=> 25x/25 = 1900/25

=> x = 76

He got 76% on the quiz.

Another way is:

=> 19/25 = x/100

=> We need to divide 25 from 100.

=> We get 4.

So, 25 x 4 = 100

=> 19 x 4 = x

=> x = 76

He got 76% on the quiz.

Both ways are correct.

Hey There!!

Your best choice is 76%

Because, 19/25 = x/100

25x = 1900

x = 76

°He got 76% correct!!°
