so to find percentages we do the part over the whole. So in this equations we do
(answered correctly)/(total number of questions) * 100=grade
answered correctly = 46
Total number problems = x
where x is the number we don't know
and
grade is 88
(46)/(x) = .88
multiply both sides by x
we get
46 = .88x
we just need to simplify
46/.88 = x
52.27 = x
