Question

Landon scored an 85% on his test. If he got 34 problems correct, how many were on the test?

Answer 1

Answer:

There are 40 problems on the test

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p = the number of problems on the test

The number of problems on the test times the percent correct is the number correct

p * 85% = 34

p * .85 = 34

Divide each side by .85

p * .85/.85 = 34/.85

p = 40

There are 40 problems on the test
