Question

To pass her test, Tori needs to answer at least 65% of the questions correct. If there were 60

Answer 1

1) change 65% to a decimal = .65

2) .65 • 60 = 37.2 questions need to be right

3) since she got 42 correct, that is greater than 37.2, so she passed.

OR

1) 42/60 = 0.7

2) 0.7 to a percent = 70%

3) since she got a 70% on the test, she passed.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

To obtain score of 80% on entire exam means the student have to answer

(80/100)×80 = 64 correct answers

Student have already answered 75% of the first 60 questions correctly meaning

(75/100)×60=45 correct answers from first 60 questions

Remaining correct answers s/he have to answer

64-45=19

So from remaining 20 questions s/he have to answer 19 correct questions that is

20 × (x/100) = 19

x = 19 ×(100/20)

x = 95%
