You can put this solution on YOUR website! Ms. Dash had a total of 63 test papers to complete, she already completed 28 of them. What percentage did she have left? round to the nearest tenth
----------------
Quantity to finish the work: 63-28 = 35
Percent TO FINISH the work: 35/63 = 55.6%
====================
Comment: The 55.6% is based on the original # of test papers.
If you figure 28/63 you get 44.4%; that is the percent Ms.
Dash HAS finished.
