Total number of questions/ Number correct gives you 31/40 = .775 but expressed as a percent it will move two decimal places and become 77.5%

Answer:

The answer is 77.5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Total questions Brendan solved are = $31+9=40$

Number of correct question he got = 31

Number of missed questions by him = 9

We have to find the correct answer percentage, so we will divide the correct answer by total questions multiplied by 100.

$\frac{31}{10}*100$ = 77.5%

Hence, the correct percent is 77.5 %.
