Question

Samantha correctly answered 36 out of 48 questions on a test. She must score 70% or greater to pass the test. Did she pass?

Answer 1

Yes

Explanation:

You see that you need a percentage. You are given the amount that she got wrong, assuming the questions are weighted the same, you divide 36 by 48. This gives you .75. Then you multiply .75 by 100% giving you 75%.
