If you get 23 out of 25 on a quiz, what is your score as a percent?

Question

Solve with a proportion

Answer 1

Think this way: total amount of question is 25 and it is 100%. Right a proportion: if 25 is 100%, then 23 - X%

25  =  23

100 =  X

Cross multiply and you will have:

25x = 2300

Divide both parts of equation by 25. The answer is 92%.

Answer 2

Part/Whole = Part % / 100% ---------> 23/25 = X/100 (if you will write fraction line instead of slash, do cross multiplication) ----------> 25X = 23·100 -----------> X = 2300/25 = 92%

Answer 3

23/25

Divide the denominator (25) into the numerator (23).

The decimal is .92

To change the decimal to a percent, move the decimal two places to the right:

92%
