so if the test is worth 50 points and you got 84% on it you would get 50 times 84/100 points
so 50/1 times 84/100=(50 84)/(50 2) this is also (50/50) times (84/2) so you can take out the 50/50 which equals 1 and get 84/2 which divides to equal 42 so you will get 42 points
If we know that 50points ---------- 100% x is ----------------- 84% Know we can write x 100%=50 84% /:100%
x = 100 50 ∗ 84 = 42 - its the result
To find the score out of 50 points with an 84% score, multiply 50 by 0.84, which equals 42. Therefore, the student scored 42 points.
