If I missed 24 problems out of 40, what is my grade?
well, you got 16/40 = 40%
Don't know how that translates to a grade. Most likely not an A.
divide the numbers to get your percentage but divide 24 by 40
yes
To determine your grade, you need to calculate the percentage of problems you answered correctly. Here's how you can do it:
Step 1: Calculate the number of problems you answered correctly. Subtract the number of problems you missed (24) from the total number of problems (40). In this case, it would be 40 - 24 = 16.
Step 2: Calculate the percentage by dividing the number of problems you answered correctly by the total number of problems and multiplying by 100. So, (16 ÷ 40) × 100 = 40%.
Therefore, if you missed 24 problems out of 40, your grade would be 40%.
