Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To determine if he passed the test, we need to find what percentage of questions he answered correctly. We can set up a proportion:
\begin{align*}
\frac{	ext{number of correct answers}}{	ext{total number of questions}} &= \frac{x}{100\%}\
\frac{25}{40} &= \frac{x}{100\%}\
40x &= 2500\
x &= 62.5
\end{align*}
Therefore, he only answered 62.5% of the questions correctly, which is less than the passing grade of 65%. Therefore, he did not pass the test. The answer is choice B, no.
