Question

Nina took an exam. When her results came, she had 40% correct and 68% incorrect. Find the percent to correct answers to incorrect answers.

Answer 1

Answer: She had 27.2% correct.

Step-by-step explanation: To find the percent, we can divide the part and whole then multiply the quotient by 100. After that we'll need to convert the percent to a decimal. In mathematical terms, the formula will be,

$\frac{part}{whole}=quotient*100$

40% will be the part and 68% will be the whole.

Step 1.

Convert 40 into a decimal by dividing it by 100.

40 ÷ 100 = 0.4

Step 2.

Multiply 0.4 by 68.

0.4 × 68 = 27.2

Hence, she had 27.2% correct.
