To calculate the percentage Markus would get from the questions he got right, you need to divide the number of questions he got right by the total number of questions and then multiply by 100.
First, let's find the percentage using the formula:
Percentage = (Number of questions answered correctly ÷ Total number of questions) × 100
Given that Markus got 63 out of 65 questions right, we can plug in the values:
Percentage = (63 ÷ 65) × 100
To calculate this, divide 63 by 65 and then multiply the result by 100.
Percentage = (0.969 × 100)
Percentage = 96.9
Therefore, Markus would get a percentage of 96.9% from the questions he got right on the social studies test.
