Gabrielle took a Spanish test with 50 questions. She answered 50 questions but only answered 44 of them correctly. What percent of the questions did Gabrielle answer correctly?
The fraction [tex]\frac{44}{50}[/tex] represents the 44 questions that Gabrielle got correct out of the 50 questions she answered altogether.
To find out what percent of questions Gabrielle answered correctly, we can turn [tex]\frac{44}{50}[/tex] into a percent.
We can first reduce the fraction [tex]\frac{44}{50}[/tex] by dividing both the numerator and denominator by the Greatest Common Factor of 44 and 50 using 2.
44 ÷ 2 = 22
50 ÷ 2 = 25
22 ÷ 25 = 0.88
0.88 × 100 = 88%
Therefore, Gabrielle answered 88% percent of the questions correct on her Spanish test.
