To find out how many questions Wendy did not answer correctly on her history test, we first need to determine the number of questions she answered correctly.
We know that Wendy answered 85% of the questions correctly, which can be written as 85/100 or 0.85 as a decimal. To find the number of questions answered correctly, we multiply the decimal representation by the total number of questions:
Number of questions answered correctly = 0.85 x 40 = 34
Since there were 40 questions on the test, we can subtract the number of questions answered correctly to find the number of questions Wendy did not answer correctly:
Number of questions not answered correctly = 40 - 34 = 6
Therefore, Wendy did not answer 6 questions correctly on her history test.
