Respuesta :

Hello!

To solve this we have to find what 82% of 50 is

So we do 50 * 0.82 where 0.82 is 82% as a decimal.

This gives us 41

So the answer is D

Hope this helps!
Total questions = 50
Correct Answer = 82% x 50 = 0.82 x 50 = 41

Ratio of questions answered correctly to total number of questions:
41 : 50

Answer: 41 : 50 (Answer D)
