Question

A student answered 86 problems on a test correctly and received a grade of 98%. How many problems were on the test, if all the problems were worth the same number of points? (Round to the nearest whole number).

Answer 1

Answer:

88 problems

Step-by-step explanation:

Set this problem up as fractions

86/x = 98/100

Cross multiply

86 × 100 = x × 98

8600 = 98x

Divide both sides by 98

87.75... = x

Round to nearest whole number

87.75 rounds up to 88
