Question

I don't understand these types of problems...On a test with 25 problems,Grace got 88% correct.How many problems did Grace get correct?

Answer 1

25 problems = 100%
Anytime you have to find a percent of something, just take whatever 100% is and multiple it by the decimal form of the percent (hopefully that makes sense)

To find out what 88% of the problems are, you would multiple 25 x .88. The answer would be 22.

Answer 2

Its easy, see
Number of problems = 25
Percentage correct = 88%
Therefore, number of problems correct = 88% of 25
88/100 × 25 = 22

Just remember, when percentage comes take it upon hundred and multiply by the total number given.
