Question:

Jacob took a science test and got 24 correct and 16 incorrect answers. What is the percentage of correct answers?

A. 20%

B.40%

C.60%

Answer:

C.60%

Solution:

Given,

Correct Answers = 24

Incorrect Answers = 16

hence,

Total # of questions = Correct Answer + Incorrect Answer

Total # of questions = 24 + 16

Total # of questions = 40

What is the percentage of correct answers?

for this, we can use the concept of Percentage, Base, Rate  

P = B × R

where

P = Percentage of Base = 24 (# of correct answers)

B = Base or the Total = 40 (Total # of questions)

R = Rate = ? × 100%

solve for R,

P = B × R

24 = (40) × (R)

R = 24/40

R = 0.6

R = 0.6 x 100%

R = 60%
