Question

Course Grade You were 6 points shy of a B in yo

Answer 1

The point total possible for the given course is equal to 500.

What is a Percent?

• A ratio whose second term is 100 is known as a percent.
• Parts per hundred are used in percentages.
• The mathematical representation of percent is %.
• The percent formula is given as, $x=p \times b$, where b is the base number, x is the number being compared to b, and p is the percent in decimal form.

In the question, it is given that you were 6 points shy of a B and the current total points you have is 394.

So, the total number of points you require for a B is calculated as,

$394+6=400$

So, the value of x is 400.

It is given that you need 80% of the course total for a B.

$\implies p=\frac{80}{100}\\ \implies p=0.8$

Here, we have to find the base number (b).

We have, x = 80% of b

$\implies x=0.8 \times b\\\implies 400= 0.8 \times b\\\implies x=\frac{400}{0.8}$

Simplifying, we get

$x=500$

Therefore, 500 points were possible in the course.
