Alexander correctly answered 44 out of 50 questions on his geography test. What percent of the questions did he answer incorrectly? Express your answer as a percent and as a decimal

50 answers in total - 44 correct answers = 6 incorrect answers.

To get the percentage of incorrect answers, take the part (6) and divide it by the whole (50) and multiply the quotient by 100.

(6 / 50) * 100 = 12%

12% = 0.12.

Alexander got 12% or 0.12 of the answers incorrect

0.12

SO to find the ones he did incorrectly, you would subtract 50 and 44. This is 6. He got 6 questions wrong. Now divide 6 and 50. This is 0.12.

So decimal: 0.12.
