We can use the percent formula to solve. The percent formula is below: ^part⁄_whole = ^%⁄₁₀₀ We are given the whole (the 25 total test questions) and are asked to find the part, which is the number of questions answered correctly (x): ^x⁄₂₅ = ⁶⁰⁄₁₀₀ Cross multiply and solve for x: 100 * x = 25 * 60 100x = 1500 100x/100 = 1500/100 x = 15 So, 15 is 60% of 25
