Jackson answered 3 questions correctly on his multiple choice history final and earned a grade of 5%. How many total questions were on the final exam?

It's 60.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can think of it like this:

If Jackson got a grade of 5% for 3 questions, then I can continuously multiply by 3 to get to 100.

3 questions is 5%.

6 questions is 10%.

12 questions is 20%.

24 questions is 40%.

48 questions is 80%.

Add another 12 questions for another 20%, and you get 100%.

48 + 12 is 60. 60 is your answer.

I put it this way so that way you can understand the basic concept of percentages.

10/60

step-by-step explanation:

if you divide 10 by 60 the answer is 0.166666 while if you divide or solve the other problems it equals 0.6
