Answer:
It is less than 85% of the words.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that Pablo spelled 21 out of 25 words correctly on his spelling test. We are asked to determine, whether it is more or less than 85% of the words.
Let us find 21 is what percent of 25 as shown below:
[tex]\text{Percentage of words spelled}=\frac{21}{25}\times 100[/tex]
[tex]\text{Percentage of words spelled}=21\times 4[/tex]
[tex]\text{Percentage of words spelled}=84[/tex]
Since the percentage of words spelled is 84%, therefore, it is less than 85% of the words.
