Sarah had got 40 out of 50 questions right. What is the percentage of questions Sarah got right? Explain and show your work.
80 percent. all you need to do is divide. :D
"blah blah" could have explained better.
40/50 = 4/5 = .8 = 80%
i tried not to answer it for him writeacher. just gave him a nudge in the right direction.
Your answer on the other post was better -- it has full explanation!!
To find the percentage of questions Sarah got right, we first need to calculate the ratio of the number of questions she got right to the total number of questions.
In this case, Sarah got 40 questions right out of a total of 50 questions. So the ratio is:
40 / 50 = 0.8
To convert this ratio to a percentage, we multiply it by 100:
0.8 * 100 = 80
Therefore, Sarah got 80% of the questions right.
Work:
40/50 = 0.8
0.8*100=80
