Hello.

In order to find the percentage of the questions that were correct, we need to find the decimal value of 64/75.

64/75 = 0.853...

To convert decimals to percentages, you multiply the decimal by 100.

0.853... x 100 = 85.33..%

The percent of the questions that were correct is about 85.3%.

To write 64/75 as a percentage we will first have to turn it into a decimal.

To turn it into a decimal, you divide the numerator by the denominator.

>>>64 divided by 75 is 0.8333333.

Now to turn the decimal into a percent, you multiply the decimal by 100. Or bring it two place values up.

>>>0.833333333 times 100 is 83.333 repeating.

As a conclusion your answer is 83.33%.
