A student missed 13 problems on a Physics test and received a grade of 48%.
If all the problems were of equal value, how many problems were on the test?
Round off your answer to the nearest integer.
:
let n = number of problems on the test
* 100 = 48
=
cross multiply
100(n-13) = 48n
100n - 1300 = 48n
100n - 48n = 1300
52n = 1300
n = 1300/52
n = 25 problems on the test

Check (he got 12 right)
