Yesterday, there were 100 problems assigned for math homework. Aubrey got 86 out of 100 problems correct. What percentage did Aubrey get correct?

Write your answer using a percent sign (%).

1 answer

To find the percentage of problems that Aubrey got correct, you can use the formula:

\[ \text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{Number of Correct Answers}}{\text{Total Number of Problems}} \right) \times 100 \]

In this case, Aubrey got 86 problems correct out of 100. Plugging the numbers into the formula gives:

\[ \text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{86}{100} \right) \times 100 \]

Calculating that:

\[ \text{Percentage} = 0.86 \times 100 = 86% \]

Thus, Aubrey got 86% of the problems correct.
