Question

Q5. Imran took a math test and got 35 correct and 15 incorrect answer
a) What was the percentage of correct answers?​

Answer 1

Answer:

70%

Step-by-step explanation:

correct=35

incorrect=15

The test was for 15+35=50marks

therefore score = 35 out of 50

percentage = (35/50)x100

=70%

Answer 2

Answer:

70 percent

Step-by-step explanation:

If you add 35 and 15 together, you get 50. This is the maximum amount of marks possible in the test, assuming Imran answered all of the questions. When dealing with percentage questions, you always get the maximum number ( In this scenario 50 ) and divide 100 by it to get a percent for 1. In this case, 100/50= 2. This means that every mark is 2 percent.

35x2=70. This means Imran got 70 percent of the test correct and the remaining 30 percent wrong/incorrect
