Sarah correctly answers 45 questions on her history test. There are 50 questions on the test Enter the percent of the questions sarah answered incorrectly
well, 5 were incorrect.
5/50 = ?
To find the percentage of questions Sarah answered incorrectly, we need to determine the number of questions she answered incorrectly first.
Since there are a total of 50 questions on the test and Sarah correctly answered 45 questions, we can subtract the number of questions she answered correctly from the total number of questions to find the number of incorrect answers:
Number of questions answered incorrectly = Total number of questions - Number of questions answered correctly
= 50 - 45
= 5
Now, to find the percentage of questions Sarah answered incorrectly, we can use the formula:
Percentage = (Number of incorrect answers / Total number of questions) * 100
Plugging in the values:
Percentage = (5 / 50) * 100
= 0.10 * 100
= 10
Therefore, Sarah answered 10% of the questions incorrectly.
