To determine which test had the best score, we need to compare the percentages of questions answered correctly on each test.
For Test 1, Jake answered 15 out of 25 questions correctly. To find the percentage, we divide 15 by 25 and multiply by 100:
(15/25) * 100 = 60%.
For Test 2, Jake answered 18 out of 25 questions correctly. Again, we divide 18 by 25 and multiply by 100:
(18/25) * 100 = 72%.
For Test 3, Jake missed 5 out of 27 questions. To find the percentage answered correctly, we subtract the number missed from the total and divide that by the total number of questions:
(27 - 5) / 27 * 100 = 81.48%.
Comparing the percentages, we can see that Test 3 had the best score with 81.48% correct. Therefore, the answer is C) Test 3 had the best score.
To determine which test had the best score, we need to compare the percentage of questions answered correctly for each test.
Let's calculate the percentage for each test:
Test 1: Jake answered 15 out of 25 questions correctly.
Percentage correct = (15/25) * 100 = 60%
Test 2: Jake answered 18 out of 25 questions correctly.
Percentage correct = (18/25) * 100 = 72%
Test 3: Jake missed 5 out of 27 questions.
Percentage correct = (27-5)/27 * 100 = 81.48% (approx.)
Now, we can see that Test 3 had the highest percentage of correct answers, so the answer is C) Test 3 had the best score.
