To convert the score of 38 out of 50 into a percentage, the important step is:
Number of correct answers by the total number of questions.
Here's how it works:
- First, identify the number of correct answers. The student scored 38 out of a total of 50, so they got 38 correct.
- Next, you divide the number of correct answers by the total number of questions:
\[ \text{Percentage} = \left(\frac{\text{Number of correct answers}}{\text{Total number of questions}}\right) \times 100 \]
This translates to:
\[ \text{Percentage} = \left(\frac{38}{50}\right) \times 100 = 76% \]
So, the correct choice to convert points into percentages is to divide the number of correct answers by the total number of questions.
