Question

in a test consisting of 90 questions, Ama answered 75% of the first 40 questions correctly. If she had to get a score of 80% in the test, (i) how many questions did she answer correctly out of the first 40 questions? (ii) how many questions should she answer correctly out of the 90 questions? (iii) what percentage of the remaining 50 questions should she answer correctly in order to get the 80%?​

Answer 1

Answer:

total question =90

she obtained 75% of first 40 questions

1. No. of question she got correct in first 40 = 75% * 40 = 30

2. in order to get 80% out of 90,

the no. of questions got correct by Ama = 80% * 90 = 72

3. As she already got 30 c0rrect in first 40 questions, the number of question she needs correct for remaining 50 = (72-30) = 42

percentage = 42/50*100% = 84%
