Am I Right?
Its Right I Double Checked It
To find out how many questions were on the test, we can set up a proportion using the percentage score and the number of questions answered correctly.
Let's assume the total number of questions on the test is "x".
Since Janice scored 85%, this means she answered 85% of the total questions correctly. We can represent this as 85% of "x", or 0.85x.
We know that Janice answered 34 questions correctly, so we set up the following proportion:
0.85x / x = 34 / 1
To solve this proportion, we can cross-multiply:
0.85x * 1 = 34 * x
0.85x = 34
Now we can solve for "x" by dividing both sides of the equation by 0.85:
x = 34 / 0.85
Simplifying this calculation, we get:
x = 40
Therefore, there were 40 questions on the test.
