Matt has answered 20 over 25 of the questions on a test. what percentage of the test question has Matt answered



Answer :

So,

Matt answered 20 out of 25 questions.
[tex] \frac{20}{25} [/tex]

We need to get the denominator to be 100.  We can do that by multiplying the fraction by a form of 1.
[tex] \frac{20}{25} * \frac{4}{4} = \frac{80}{100} [/tex]

From here, it should be easy to see that Matt has answered 80% of his test.
80% because 25 goes into 100 4 times and 20 times 4 equals 80.
