Question 834696: if a test has 62 questions how many questions should lauryn answer correctly to obtain a grade of 85?

Answer by jim_thompson5910(35256) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
85% of 62 = (85/100)*62

85% of 62 = (0.85)*62

85% of 62 = 52.7

85% of 62 = 53 ... round up so you don't go below 85

So Lauryn should answer 53 questions correctly to get an 85 or better on the test.

Note: this is assuming that each test question is weighted equally.
