To obtain a score of 85% on a test worth 135 points, one needs to get 115 points. By using proportions, we get the required value.
<h3>How to write proportions?</h3>
A proportion is defined as an equality between two ratios.
Consider two ratios a:b and c:d. Then, the proportion we can write,
a: b = c : d
Then, the simplification we have for this proportion is
a/b = c/d or ad = bc
<h3>Calculation:</h3>
It is given that, a certain test is worth 135 points.
One to get 85% on this test, he/she needs to get X number of points.
So, we can write the proportions as
X : 135 = 85 : 100
⇒ X/135 = 85/100
⇒ X = 85/100 × 135
∴ X = 114.75 ≅ 115 points
