Question

If Wendy answered 14 questions correctly and obtained 70%, how many questions were on the test?questions

Answer 1

Let x be the total number of questions on the test; then,

$\begin{gathered} 14\to70\% \\ x\to100\% \end{gathered}$

Which is equivalent to

$\Rightarrow\frac{14}{70}=\frac{x}{100}$

Solve for x as shown below

$\begin{gathered} \Rightarrow x=\frac{14\cdot100}{70}=20 \\ \Rightarrow x=20 \end{gathered}$

The answer is 20 questions in total on the test
