Question

On a 50-question test, a student answered 5 questions incorrectly. What percent did the student answer correctly? A. 45% B. 90% C. 10% D. 55%

Answer 1

Hey there,

Pretend that 50 = 100

And that 5 = 10.

I did a 100 test unit test, and I got 10% wrong.

If you think about this, the answer would be 90%

So, it's the same in this case,

50 in half of 100

5 is half of 10.

So . . .

This would mean that your correct answer would be 90% because 5 in this case is to be considered to be 10.

Your correct answer is  . . . . 

$\boxed{\boxed{90 \ would \ be \ your \ correct \ answer }}$

Hope this helps
