Practice
Joshua is taking a test with 30 questions. To qualify for an academic scholarship, he needs to answer at least 80% of the questions correctly. What is the minimum number of questions Joshua must answer correctly to qualify for the scholarship?
Correct answer
B
Rationale
To qualify for an academic scholarship, Joshua needs to answer at least 80% of the 30 test questions correctly. 80% of 30 is 24, so Joshua must answer at least 24 questions correctly to qualify for the scholarship. Choice A (23) is incorrect as it is below the minimum required percentage. Choices C (26) and D (27) are also incorrect as they exceed the minimum number of questions Joshua needs to answer correctly for the scholarship.
