On a test, 86% of the questions are answered correctly. If 215 questions are correct, how many questions are on the test?

1 answer:

7 0

The text tells us 215 is 86% of the questions
We are looking for 100% of the questions

We get that number by:
Multiplying 100 and 215 and dividing it by 86

$\frac{100 \times 215}{86}$

And that equals 250

Write log3 6 as a logarithm of base 2.

Sever21 [200]

$Use:\\\log_ab=\dfrac{\log_cb}{\log_ca}\ and\ \log_ab+\log_ac=\log_a(bc)\\\\\log_36=\dfrac{\log_26}{\log_23}=\dfrac{\log_2(2\cdot3)}{\log_23}=\dfrac{\log_22+\log_23}{\log_23}\\\\=\dfrac{\log_22}{\log_23}+\dfrac{\log_23}{\log_23}=\boxed{\dfrac{1}{\log_23}+1}\\\\other\ method\\Use:\\\log_ab=\dfrac{1}{\log_ba}\\\\\log_36=\log_3(2\cdot3)=\log_32+\log_33=\log_32+1=\boxed{\dfrac{1}{\log_23}+1}$
