Step-by-step explanation:

100 divided by 16 and this will give you the worth of each questions points. Than multiply the answer by 14 and the answer altogether is 87.5%. Each question is worth 6.25

Answer 2

Answer: 87.5 %

Step-by-step explanation:

• James has a 16 item quiz. (This means that altogether there are 16            questions in the quiz.)

     so: You can write this as the denominator of a fraction as follows.

                                              $\frac{x}{16}$

• James answered 14 items correctly out of 16 items. (This means that he got 2 items wrong in the quiz.)

     so: You can write this as the numerator of the earlier fraction.

                                              $\frac{14}{16}$

• Now we have the number of correctly answered items over total items as a fraction.
• As they are asking as a form of the percentage, we simply can multiply it by 100.      

                                              $\frac{14}{16} X100$

• Now you will get the answer as 87.5 %
• This is the percentage out of 100%. Which means he got only 87.5 % over 100 %.
