If there are 25 questions on the math test, and passing is 65%, What is the least amount of questions you need to get it right in order to pass? Explain your answer..
65% can be simplified to [tex]\frac{13}{20}[/tex]. Multiplying [tex]\frac{13}{20}[/tex] by 25 gets 16.25 but since 16 would get you under 65%, you would need to correctly answer 17 questions.
