Conchita missed 6 out of 65 questions on a medical terminology exam. What percent of the questions did she answer correctly? Round to the nearest tenth of a percent.
?
%

Answer 1

Okie dokie! Let's look at the formula.

\(\large \rm \frac{part}{whole}~=~\frac{percent}{100}\)

6 is the part
65 is the whole

\(\large \rm \frac{6}{65}~=~\frac{percent}{100}\)

First take 6 and multiply it by 100

What is 6 x 100?

Answer 2

600

Answer 3

Good! Now we take 600 and divide it by 65

600/65 = your percent

Answer 4

So what is 600/65? after you find that out we will round the answer to the nearest tenth

Answer 5

9.23

Answer 6

9.2307

Answer 7

The tenths place is the first digit after the decimal point!

9.2307 - The 7 round the 0 up to 1, so now we have 9.231

9.231 - The one rounds the 3 to a 3, so now we have 9.23

9.23 - The 3 round the 2 to a 2, so now we have 9.2

9.2% is your answer!

Answer 8

ohhhh i c now i understand it

Answer 9

9.2% is the amount she missed

subtract that from 100% to get the percent correct

Answer 10

Answer 11

you're on the right track though

Answer 12

so the answer is 9.2%?

Answer 13

you now need to evaluate 100% - 9.2%

Answer 14

90.8

Answer 15

Hmm

90% of 65 is way more than 6

Answer 16

she missed 6

but she got 65 - 6 = 59 correct

Answer 17

so whats the answer

Answer 18

90.8% is the correct approximate answer
