Question

The exam had 60 questions. Phelix got 85 •/• (percent) correct. How many questions did he answer correctly?

Answer 1

Since Phelix got 85 percent of 60 questions correct, you would find 85 percent of 60

You can solve this by using proportions


`(x)/(60) = (85)/(100)`

100x = 60 * 85

100 x = 5100

100x/100 = 5100/100

x = 51

Phelix answered 51 questions correctly.
