Question

If i get 14/20 on a test what percent would that be? 30 POINTS!!!!! 5 STARS AND A THANKS TOO

Answer 1

To figure out the percentage you got correct, we need to set up fractional proportions.

We already have one fraction, 14/20.
Since we are looking for a percentage, we need to have a maximum total percentage that represents the total score.
100% is the maximum percentage for any total.
So we have our fractional proportions set;
14/20 : x/100

To solve for this, we need to cross multiply the numerator (top number) of one fraction by the denominator (bottom number) of the other fraction.

Let's try this!

14 • 100 = 1400
20 • x = 20x

Now that we have our products, set them as an equation.

20x = 1400.

To solve for x, we need to divide both sides by 20.

20x / 20 = x
1400 / 20 = 70.

You are left with:

x = 70.

Your answer is:

If you get 14/20 on a test, you would get 70% of the questions correct.

I hope this helps!
