Question

On a test, Halley answered 64 out of 75 questions correctly. What percent of the questions were correct. SHOW WORK AND EXPLAIN PLEASE

Answer 1

To write 64/75 as a percentage we will first have to turn it into a decimal.

To turn it into a decimal, you divide the numerator by the denominator.

>>>64 divided by 75 is 0.8333333.

Now to turn the decimal into a percent, you multiply the decimal by 100. Or bring it two place values up.

>>>0.833333333 times 100 is 83.333.... repeating.

As a conclusion your answer is 83.33%.
