Answer and Explanations

ACT score percentile help colleges compare students with one another, rather than just looking at everyone’s score. The score range is between 1 and 36, the highest score that one can receive on the ACT is 36. Moreover, 36 is the perfect score.

The maximum ACT score (36) is that in 2018, only 3,741 students (out of millions of test-takers) scored a perfect 36 on the ACT. The 99th percentile of test-takers includes those who earn 35 or 34 on the ACT. We can miss up to five questions on the ACT and still earn a 36. That is a reason why the maximum ACT score is 36 at the 100th percentile.

The ACT score report will provide more information about test-taking experience in the form of sub score. The higher the score, you will get into the colleges of your choice.

Answer:

$492 per year

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step we take towards solving this question is to add all the numbers we were given as money spent(excluding that of the month)

$20 + $10 + $18 + $3 = $41 per month

This means that a total of $41 was spent per month.

Going further, since we're told it's 12 months, we then multiply it by 12, and thus, we have

$41 * 12 = $492 per year

Therefore, the total money spent is $492 per 12 months, or per year
