Question

Jordon missed 49 on his multiple choice math final and earned a grade of 65%. How many total questions were on the final exam?

Answer 1

The exam was out of 75.

Explanation:

You know that he earned 65% so more than half his answers were correct.

Then, you would guess and check try 49/60, 49/70, and go up by 10s or 5s. You will then realize that 49÷75 equals 65.333. This rounds up to 65.
