Question

Item 4 Write a proportion to find how many points x a student needs to score on a test worth 50 points to get a test score of 40%

Answer 1

Answer:

20 points

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find how many points x a student needs to score on a test worth 50 points to get a test score of 40%.

Let x be the number of points.

ATQ,

$\dfrac{x}{50}=\dfrac{40}{100}\\\\x=\dfrac{50\times 40}{100}\\\\x=20$

Hence, a student needs 20 points to get a score of 40%.
