Notation:
Percent correct = PC
Number of questions answered correctly = QAC
Total number of questions to answer = TQ
Basic formula used: PC = (QAC / TQ)x 100
Data given: Total number of questions = 36
After you manipulate the basic formula to determine the number of questions answered correctly you end up with the following:
QAC = (PC x TQ)/ 100 = (75% x 36)/100 = 0.75 x 36 = (3/4) x 36 = (3/4) x (9x4)
= 3 x 9 = 27
Questions Answered Correctly (QAC) = 27
