Problema Solution

36 students scored 80 percent or less on a test. 80 percent is in the 75th percentile. What is the total number of students that took the test.

Answer provided by our tutors

let x = the total number of students that took the test


0.75*x = 36 divide both sides by 0.75


x = 36/0.75


x = 48 students


total of 48 students took the test.
