Thread: [SOLVED] Percents

I took a test that had 80 questions. Out of the 80 questions, they said I had 69% score. How many questions did I miss?

69% of 80 is 0.69*80=55.2.

So you had correct answers to the equivalent of 55 and 1/5 questions.

actually its:

.69 * 80 = 55.2

but you probably got 55 q's right and they calculated the percentage as

55 / 80 = .6875 which was rounded to 69%

so you missed 80 - 55 = 25 questions

out of 100=69
out of 80 = (80*69)/100
= 55.2

no of attempted questions =55.2

questions not attempted 80-55.2
