Question

A student earned 42 out of 50 points on the last test. What percent correct did the student earn?

Answer 1

Answer: 84%

Explanation:

1. You know that the student earned 42 out of 50 points on the last test.

2. Then, to calculate the percent the student earned, you must divide 42 points by 50 points and then you must multiply by 100, as you can see below:

Let's call
`x` the percent the student earned. Then:

`x=(42points)/(50points)*100`

`x=84`%
