Question

@iGreen A student answered 48 problems on a test correctly and received a grade 96%. How many problems were on the test?

Answer 1

Okay 48 is 96% on the test.

So multiplying 0.96 to something gives us 48.

Make an equation.

0.96 * x = 48

Solve for 'x'

Answer 2

x=50

Answer 3

:\ Wow..

Answer 4

2,400?

Answer 5

@SoulEater142 I'm not trying to be mean, but don't answer my questions. You're not helping me at all.

Answer 6

I think i just gave you the answer princess. -_-

Answer 7

Okay, but i didn't ask for the answer, i wanted to try it out myself. That's why i'm here for help, not actual answers.

Answer 8

:/ my bad... most people want answers not more problems and equations.

Answer 9

It's okay, but that's not how i'm going to learn. I think getting help FOR the answers, is better. :3

Answer 10

Fineeee

Answer 11

^-^ Thank you.

Answer 12

@Ms.Parris is an awesome learner \(\Huge\ddot\smile\)

Answer 13

@iGreen T-Thank you. <3

Answer 14

\(\sf 0.96 \cdot x = 48\)

To solve for 'x', we need to get it by itself..0.96 is in the way.

0.96 is being multiplied to 'x', so to get rid of it, we do the opposite, which is..?

Answer 15

Most people on here are just looking for answers..OS is here to help people learn..not to give out free answers..which is why it's against the Code of Conduct..so please refrain from giving direct answers @SoulEater142

Answer 16

I don't even know how to explain half the stuff to the people who ask the questions... i just know how to answer them myself

Answer 17

Of course, there are always some people who actually want to learn and be a successful person, like @Ms.Parris just showed herself to be.

Answer 18

@iGreen Do we divide..? O.o

Answer 19

@SoulEater142 If you know how to find the answer on your own, you should be able to explain it to others..tell them the process and let them do it.

Answer 20

nope... iv'e always been horrible at explaining my answers because i do most of it mentally.

Answer 21

Yes, we divide 0.96 to both sides to get rid of it.

\(\sf 0.96 \cdot x = 48\)

\(\sf \dfrac{0.96}{0.96} \cdot x = \dfrac{48}{0.96}\)

0.96 divided by itself is equal to 1..so it just cancels out, leaving us with 'x'.

\(\sf \cancel{\bcancel{\dfrac{0.96}{0.96}}} \cdot x = \dfrac{48}{0.96}\)

\(\sf x = \dfrac{48}{0.96}\)

Answer 22

Oh okay. YAY <3

Answer 23

Thank you, iGreen. Are you a real Math teacher? :o

Answer 24

No, I'm just a 14-year-old kid.

Answer 25

o_o... Cool. :o I'm 13.

Answer 26

Well if you ever need a straight up answer for something ask me but otherwise ask @iGreen

Answer 27

@SoulEater142 The problem is, "straight up answers" are not allowed here..you can be banned for it..we guide the asker to the solution.

Answer 28

Then you should see the public questions... 90% of them just get answers. :P

Answer 29

I know..it's a big issue.

Answer 30

@iGreen I-i gave you a message..
