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.
