To figure out Nate’s actual score, we can use proportions (though it is much easier to just divide 29 by 40), which would be as follows:
Let x be the percentage that Nate got.
29/40 = x/100
By cross-multiplication, we get 40x = 2900.
x = 2900/40
[Note that this is the same as dividing 29 by 40 and multiplying by 100.]
x = 72.5
To find out how many points Nate needed to get 88%, we can also use proportions.
Let x be the number of questions Nate needed to answer correct out of 40 to attain a score of 88%.
x/40 = 88/100
By cross-multiplication, 100x = 40 * 88
100x = 3520
x = 3520/100x = 35.2
Therefore, Nate needed to get at least 36 questions right (meaning that he was an entire 7 questions off in his calculations) to get a score of 88% or above (unless partial credit is given).

If Nate got an 88 on any test, his teacher would think the world’s coming to an end!

its only about 72.5 . But there aren’t .5 s on test scores… are there?

What is the worst grade you have had

An 88 would be around 35.

I just rounded up, 30 of 40 = 3/4ths, 75%, so 29 of 40 would be just under that amount. Not exact, exactly, but good enough for my purposes.

Nate, you’re a day late and a dollar short. XD

I guess Nate has problems in math, too.

I can’t figure out the faulty math logic that made Nate think he had an 88% on the science test.

It was clearly a science test, not a math test!

if he got a 29/40 that means it would be like a 73/74

it translates to 72.5, which is still pretty good for him
