Question

Adriel answered 54 questions correctly on his multiple choice history final and earned a grade of 45%. How many total questions were on the final exam?

Answer 1

Answer:

There were 120 questions on the test.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that:

Number of questions answered = 54

Grade percent = 45%

Let,

x be the total number of questions

45% of x = 54

$\frac{45}{100}x=54\\0.45x = 54$

Dividing both sides by 0.45

$\frac{0.45x}{0.45}=\frac{54}{0.45}\\x=120$

Therefore,

There were 120 questions on the test.
