On a 40-question test, Peggy answers 34 questions correctly. What percent of the questions does she answer correctly?
To find the percent, divide the number of questions answered correctly by the total number of questions and then multiply by 100:
(34/40) * 100 = 85%
Peggy answers 85% of the questions correctly.
To find the percent of questions Peggy answered correctly, you can use the formula:
(Number of questions answered correctly / Total number of questions) * 100
In this case, Peggy answered 34 questions correctly out of a total of 40 questions, so:
(34 / 40) * 100 = (0.85) * 100 = 85%
Therefore, Peggy answered 85% of the questions correctly.
