The student answered correctly 76 question on the Mathematics test,which was 95% of the total number of question. How many questions were in the test?
80
0.95x = 76
Solve for x.
To find out how many questions were in the test, we can use the following equation:
(76 / x) * 100 = 95%
Where x represents the total number of questions in the test.
To solve for x, we can multiply both sides of the equation by x and divide by 95:
76 * 100 / 95 = x
Simplifying the equation gives us:
x ≈ 80.00
Therefore, there were approximately 80 questions in the test.
To find out how many questions were in the test, we can set up a proportion using the information given. The student answered correctly 76 questions, which is 95% of the total number of questions.
Let's call the total number of questions in the test "x".
Using the proportion:
76 / x = 95 / 100
We can solve this proportion by cross-multiplying and then solving for x.
76 * 100 = 95 * x
7600 = 95 * x
To isolate x, we divide both sides of the equation by 95:
7600 / 95 = x
x ≈ 80
So, there were approximately 80 questions in the Mathematics test.
