## anonymous 3 years ago Val scored 85% on a test with 60 mutiple choice questions.How many problems did Val answer correctly ?

1. anonymous

if you get a score on you paper it is written like how?

2. anonymous

i mean sometimes not all

3. anonymous

you might see a 98 meaning you got 98 questions correct out of 100 ---- 100 coicedentally it also means that you got 98 percent as you score

4. anonymous

calculate it as you see it :P

5. anonymous

i don't understand what you wrote

6. anonymous

98 --- 100 98 divided by 100 ?

7. anonymous

i spelled coincidentally wrong :P

8. anonymous

98/100=0.98

9. anonymous

then for percentage you must move the decimal place 2 spaces back

10. anonymous

95%

11. anonymous

12. anonymous

to get a decimal numeric value move 2 spaces foward

13. anonymous

can you give me the answer @iforgot

14. anonymous

the answer souldnt be a decimal or percentage, 1 min

15. anonymous

16. anonymous

okay @lillybeth123

17. anonymous

but do you know how calculate percentage problems back and forth?

18. anonymous

no

19. anonymous

20. anonymous

that is what the question was asking

21. anonymous

22. anonymous

23. anonymous

it will be too confusing doing 2 things at once

24. anonymous

i can look it up later, but im in a quiz, ill tell you the answer in a bit.

25. anonymous

ok back to my example this is a given situation TEST SCORE 98 --- 100

26. anonymous

This means that 98 --- 100 <--- number of test problems

27. anonymous

98 <--- number test problems correct --- 100 <--- number test problems

28. anonymous

i don't see wat 98 has to do with her problem.

29. anonymous

if you see my posts this is an example

30. anonymous

she/he has said that they are not very clear on percentage calculation

31. anonymous

98 <--- % out of --- 100 <--- number of problems this is synonymous when it is # % out of #

32. anonymous

i think she/he has to say $\frac{ 85 }{ 100 }$ and multiply it by 60

33. anonymous

as i said in my examples 98 < --- correct --- = percentage yield 100 <--- # prob. you want # correct simple 60 <--- #prob --- = correct 85 <--- percent yield

34. anonymous

use what you want to solve for

35. anonymous

@Selena2345 do you understand y i am doing this?

36. anonymous

no

37. anonymous

do you understand 98 --- = 98 % 100

38. anonymous

?

39. anonymous

"point" 98 (or any number) becomes a percent when the decimal space is moved back 2 places .98

40. anonymous

therefore 98 --- = .98 = 98% 100

41. anonymous

@Selena2345 you understand that?

42. anonymous

if i had 1 it becomes 100% 1.5 it becomes 150% .25 it becomes 25%
