Respuesta :

The total points of the test was 230 points

Step-by-step explanation:

The given is:

  • john scored a 20% on his exam.
  • He got 46 points out of the total number of points

We need to find the total number of points of the test

∵ John scored a 20% on his exam

∵ John got 46 points in the exam

Use the ratio method

→  John point    :    Exam points

→  20%               :    100%

→  46                  :    x

- By using cross multiplication

∴ 20%(x) = 100%(46)

- Divide both sides by 20%

∴ [tex]x=\frac{(100)(46)}{(20)}[/tex]

∴ x = 230 points

The total points of the test was 230 points
