Myra took a math quiz last week. There were 50 problems on the quiz and Myra answered 86% of them correctly. How many problems did Myra get correct?

Answer 1

To find out how many problems Myra answered correctly, we first need to calculate 86% of the total number of problems on the quiz, which is 50.

We can calculate it as follows:

\[ \text{Correct Answers} = \text{Total Problems} \times \text{Percentage Correct} \]

Substituting the values:

\[ \text{Correct Answers} = 50 \times 0.86 \]

Now, let's perform the multiplication:

\[ 50 \times 0.86 = 43 \]

Thus, Myra answered 43 problems correctly.
