Question

What would my grade be if there are 20 questions and I got 3 wrong?

Community Answer

Subtract 3 from 20 and divide by 20. You'll get an 85% for your grade. Check above to see what that means in your area; it's definitely a B in the US, but it's also a Distinction in the U.K. and India.

Question

How many wrong answers can I get on a 46 question test and still pass?

Community Answer

Let's assume you need around a 70% to pass. You would then need to know what 70% of 46 is. Calculate this by converting 70% to the following decimal: 0.7. Then multiply that by 46. The answer is 32.2, which we will round up to 33 to account for the decimal. That is how many questions you need to get right to pass. Subtract 33 from 46 to find how many you can get wrong and still pass. The answer is 13.

Question

What would my percentage score be if I got 7 problems wrong out of 44?

Community Answer

Question

Is there a website to grade problems?

Community Answer

Not really. A calculator is your best bet for checking math problems. There are websites that can solve some advanced math, like calculus, as well. But you'd have to just input the numbers - no word problems or anything like that.

Question

What is my score if a test has 80 questions and I got 15 of them wrong?

Community Answer

Your grade will be 81.25%. If you have 80 questions in all and you subtract that by how many you missed, 15, that makes 65. Then, subtract the top by the bottom number so 65-80 and you'll get 0.8125. Next, multiply by 100.

Question

If you received an 88% on a test with 100 questions, how many were answered incorrectly?

Community Answer

Percent means out of 100. On a 100 question test, each question is worth one point. For this test, an 88% means 88 questions were answered correctly. Subtract that from 100 to find the number of questions that were answered incorrectly. The answer is 12.

Question

What if I got 69 out of 100 on a test that is worth 35% of my grade?

Community Answer

You have a D+ on the test, and got 24.15% out of the possible 35%. Depending on how well you usually do in class, you could end up with a 'B', 'C', 'D', or 'F' -- an 'A' grade is no longer possible. Work hard on the other 65% of your grade.

Question

What will my grade be if there are 6 questions and I think I missed 2?

Community Answer

We know that 6-2=4. The ratio that you need to use is "# of Correct Answers / # of Questions * 100. This means that our ratio will be 4/6, which can be simplified to 2/3. 2/3 is .67, which when multiplied by 100 is 67, meaning that your grade will probably be a 67%, or a D+.

If you subtract 45 from 110, you can determine how many you got right. Use that answer to determine your score by dividing it by 110 and converting the decimal into a percent. Your score is 59%. So you've passed but not with fanfare.
