In order to pass an exam, a student must answer 70% of the questions correctly. If answering 42 questions correctly results in a 70% score, how many questions are on the test?

Respuesta :

There are 60 questions on the test

Calculating percentages

Total number of questions = 42

Percentage equivalent= 70%

Let the total number of questions in the test be represented by x

42 = 70% of x

[tex]42=\frac{70}{100} \times x[/tex]

42 = 0.7x

Divide both sides by 0.7

42/0.7  =  0.7x/0.7

x  =  60

Therefore, there are 60 questions on the test
