Brendan got 31 questions correct on his social studies test and missed 9 questions. What percent did he have correct?

To find out what percent Brendan got correct on his social studies test, we need to divide the number of questions he got correct by the total number of questions and then multiply by 100.

First, we need to find the total number of questions. The total number of questions is calculated by adding the number of questions Brendan got correct and the number of questions he missed: 31 + 9 = 40.

Now, we can calculate the percentage by dividing the number of questions Brendan got correct (31) by the total number of questions (40) and then multiplying by 100:

(31/40) * 100 = 77.5

Therefore, Brendan had approximately 77.5% correct on his social studies test.

Divide:

31/40 = 0.775 = 77.5%
