A test has 4040 questions, and a student answers 3030 correctly. What percent of the questions did the student answer correctly?

  1. 25%25\%
  2. 75%75\% (correct answer)
  3. 13313%133\frac{1}{3}\%
  4. 30%30\%

Explanation: We need to find what percent 30 correct answers is out of 40 total questions. To find what percent one number is of another, use (part/whole) × 100. Here: (30/40) × 100 = 0.75 × 100 = 75%. Choice A (25%) incorrectly uses the difference (10/40) instead of the part over the whole.
