Question

kareem correctly answered 85% of the questions on his math test. He missed 6 questions. How many questions were on his test

Answer 1

Answer:

40 questions

Explanation:

The total number of questions on his test represents 100%.

So, If he correctly answered 85% of the questions, then he missed 15% of the questions because:

100% - 85% = 15%

Therefore, 15% of the questions are equivalent to 6 questions, then we need to find the number equivalent to 100%. So 100% is equivalent to:

$100\text{ \% }\times\frac{6}{15\text{ \%}}=40$

Then, there were 40 questions on his test.
