On a test, Abbey had 75% of the problems right. If she had 48 problems correct, how many questions were on the test?
.75x = 48
x = 48/.75

To find out how many questions were on the test, we can set up a proportion. Let's call the total number of questions on the test "x".
Since Abbey had 75% of the problems right, this means she got 75% of x questions correct. We can express this as 0.75x.
And we know that Abbey had 48 problems correct, so we can set up the following equation:
0.75x = 48
To solve for x, we need to isolate it on one side of the equation. We can do this by dividing both sides of the equation by 0.75:
x = 48 / 0.75
Calculating this division, we find:
x = 64
Therefore, there were 64 questions on the test.
