Answer 1

Mrs. Benson has 184 math assignments left to grade.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have , Mrs. Benson has graded 46 math assignments but has 80% of the assignments left to grade.We need to find Mrs. Benson has how many math assignments left to grade. Let's find out:

Let total Number of math assignments be x , So According to question 46 math assignments are graded & 80% are left i.e.

⇒ $x = 46+\frac{80x}{100}$

⇒ $x -\frac{80x}{100}= 46$

⇒ $\frac{100x-80x}{100}= 46$

⇒ $\frac{20x}{100}= 46$

⇒ $\frac{x}{5}= 46$

⇒ $x=230$

Now , Assignments left to grade is :

⇒ $230-46$

⇒ $184$

Therefore , Mrs. Benson has 184 math assignments left to grade.
