Question

If James earned 90% on a test and got 36 points, how many points did he lose from the total possible points?

Answer 1

Answer:

4

Step-by-step explanation:

90 percent is 9/10 of total possible

x = total possible points

x * 9/10 = 36

x = 36 * (10/9) = 4 * 10 = 40

40 - 36 = 4

Answer 2

36 is 90% of 40. He lost 4 points
