Jeff answered 24 questions correctly on a 30 question quiz. What percent did he answer correctly?

So 24 questions out of 30

24/30

percent means parts out of 100 so x%=x/100

convert the bottom number to 100

multiply the whole thing by 10/10

240/300

multiply the fraction by (1/3) / (1/3)

80/100=80%

another way is

24/30

divide completely

0.80/1

multiply by 100/100 since bottom number must be 100

80/100=80%

answe ris 80%

First, lets put it into a fraction. 24 out of 30. 24/30. Fractions basically mean division, so divide 24 by 30. You get 0.8. Now, to convert it to percent, you have to move the decimal two places to the right. Fill in the 0 in the now empty space. The answer is 80%
