24/25 correct is a 96% score
If she only did half as good then she got
96/2=48% on the second test
She also got twice as many problems correct.
24*2=48
In this problem the number of problem she got correct is also her percentage.
48 divided by what number will give her a score of 48%

questions in 2nd test --- x
so 48/x = (1/2)(24/25)
48/x = 24/50
24x = 2400
x = 100
There were 100 problems
check:
1st test = 24/25 = 96%
2nd test = 48/100 = 48% , which is 1/2 of 96%
so 48/x = (1/2)(24/25)
48/x = 24/50
24x = 2400
x = 100
There were 100 problems
check:
1st test = 24/25 = 96%
2nd test = 48/100 = 48% , which is 1/2 of 96%
