A certain test is worth 125 points. How many points (rounded to the nearest point) are needed to obtain a score of 85%?

Strayer is NOT your school subject.

0.85 * 125 = ?

Well, if the test is worth 125 points and you want to obtain a score of 85%, you would need to earn 106.25 points. But, since we can't really have a quarter of a point, I'm afraid you'll have to settle for either 106 or 107 points. Just remember, every point counts!

To determine the number of points needed to obtain a score of 85% on a test worth 125 points, follow these steps:

Step 1: Calculate the percentage equivalent of 85%:
85% of 125 = 0.85 * 125 = 106.25

Step 2: Round the calculated value to the nearest whole number:
Since we need to round to the nearest point, and 106.25 is closer to 106 than 107, the answer is 106 points.

Therefore, you would need approximately 106 points (rounded to the nearest point) to obtain a score of 85% on a test worth 125 points.

To find the number of points needed to obtain a score of 85%, you can use the following steps:

Step 1: Convert the percentage to a decimal. Since 85% is equivalent to 0.85 (85/100) as a decimal.

Step 2: Multiply the decimal by the total number of points the test is worth. In this case, the test is worth 125 points. Therefore, you multiply 0.85 by 125:

0.85 * 125 = 106.25

Step 3: Round the result to the nearest point. Since the question asks for the answer rounded to the nearest point, we round 106.25 to the nearest whole number:

Rounding 106.25 to the nearest whole number gives us 106.

Therefore, to obtain a score of 85%, you would need 106 points (rounded to the nearest point) on a test worth 125 points.
