Question

Jon has 953 points in his math class. He must have 68% of the 1500 points possible by the end of the term to receive credit for the class. What is the minimum number of additional points he must earn by the end of the term to receive credit for the class?

Answer 1

1500 points= 100% 
       x          =68%
(68)(1500)/100= 1020
He must have 68%(1020points)  of the 1500 points 
He has 953 points
1020-953= 67
He must earn  67 more points by the end of the term
