because 15 questions is 60%
\n" ); document.write( "to find what 1 question is worth divide by 15.
\n" ); document.write( "this gives 1 question is worth 4%.
\n" ); document.write( "Now we need to find out how many questions make 100%.
\n" ); document.write( " $\"%28100%2F4%29=25\"$
\n" ); document.write( "so there are 25 questions in the test
\n" ); document.write( "OR
\n" ); document.write( "You could say....
\n" ); document.write( "because 60% is 15 questions
\n" ); document.write( "then to find what 10% is we divide by 6
\n" ); document.write( "10%= $\"15%2F6\"$ =2.5 questions
\n" ); document.write( "to find 100% multiply by 10
\n" ); document.write( "100%=25 questions
\n" ); document.write( "there are 25 questions in the test\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "
