Question

A student received an 82% on an exam. If there were 50 questions on the exam, which ratio would show the number of questions answered correctly to the total number of questions? A. 25:50 B. 59:50 C. 82:50 D. 41:50

Answer 1

Hello!

To solve this we have to find what 82% of 50 is

So we do 50 * 0.82 where 0.82 is 82% as a decimal.

This gives us 41

So the answer is D

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Total questions = 50
Correct Answer = 82% x 50 = 0.82 x 50 = 41

Ratio of questions answered correctly to total number of questions:
41 : 50
