56% = 14 questions

1% = 14 ÷ 56 = 0.25 questions

100% = 0.25 x 100 = 25 questions

Answer: 25 questions.

To find the original amount, you do the amount she got correct divided by (1 minus the percentage).

Let P = amount of problems on the test.

P = 14 / (1 - 0.56)
= 14/ 0.44
≈ 31.818 repeating.

You can have part of a question (in this math, that is. Partial credit IRL exists) so we round to the nearest whole question, 32.

The test had 32 questions.
