Answer: there were 40 questions on her math final.

Step-by-step explanation:

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

Mary got 85% correct on her math test. This means that the number of questions that she got right is

85/100 × x = 0.85 × x = 0.85x

This also means that the number of questions that she missed would be

x - 0.85x = 0.15x

Therefore, if Mary missed 6 questions, it means that

0.15x = 6

Dividing both sides of the equation by 0.15, it becomes

0.15x/0.15 = 6/0.15

x = 40
