Question

On a test, 74% of the questions are answered correctly. If 111 questions are correct, how many questions are on the test?

Answer 1

Answer:

150

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to divide the correct answers (111) by the total amount of questions (x) in order to find the 74% (0.74)

Answer 2

Answer: there are 150 questions in the test.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the total number of questions in the test.

On a test, 74% of the questions are answered correctly. This means that the number of questions that were answered correctly is

74/100 × x = 0.74 × x = 0.74x

If 111 questions are correct, it means that

0.74x = 111

Dividing the left hand side and the right hand side of the equation by 0.74, it becomes

0.74x/0.74 = 111/0.74

x = 150
