Question

Ackie got 3 wrong out of 20 questions on her social studies quiz.What percent did she answer correctly on the quiz

Answer 1

Answer:

85%

Step-by-step explanation:

If she got 3 wrong then it means she got 20-3 right, so she got 17 questions right.

From there we get the fraction: 17/20

To make the a percentage we times both the top and bottom by 5 (because 20 x 5 = 100)

By doing that we get 17x5/20x5

= 85/100

That is equal to 85%
