Question

gabrielle took a spanish test with 50 questions and answered 44 of then correctly. what percent of the questions did gabrielle answer correctly?

Answer 1

Answer:88%

Explanation:

Percent means out of hundred. If you try to find what percentage something is out of a larger number, you multiply the fraction by 100%.

Our fraction in this case is 44/50.

(44/50) × 100% simplifies to (using a common factor of 2) (22/25) × 100% (2 goes into 44 twenty-two times, and into 50 twenty-five times). 100 and 25 share a common factor of 25, so this fraction can further be simplified to (22/1) × 4% (25 goes into itself once, and into 100 four times). 22/1 is the same as 22. 22 × 4% = 88%. And that's your answer.

Answer 2

88%

50-6/50 = 44/50 = 88%
