Question

A teacher said that 68% would be the

lowest passing test score. Kanisha got
19 out of 28 problems correct. What
was her test score? Was it a passing
score?

Answer 1

Kanisha's test score is approximately 67.8571 percent.

Explanation:

19/28 is about 67.8571, just under the 68 percent passing score. However, if her test score is rounded up, it will exactly meet the lowest passing score.

Answer 2

A percentage is out of 100%.

19 (questions right) / 28 (total) = 0.67857142857

Round to the tenth, 67.9.

67.9%, not a passing score.
