If marisol got 68 answers correct and her total is an 85, what was her test score?

So 68 is their score out of 85

68/85

And her percent should be out of 100%

So you would use cross multiplication

68/85 = x/100; let x represent her test score

68/85 = x/100 - > 68 (100) = 85x

6800 = 85x

Divide by 85 on both sides

6800/85 = 85x/85

80=x so she score was 80%

Divide 68 by 85 = is. 8 which is 80%
