Bree took another math test and scored 152 points, which was 85% of the total possible points on the test. What was the total number of possible points?

178 answers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's think this mathematically. Bree took a math test, and doing her best, she scored 152 points. And this 152 points was really 85% of the total possible points on this math test. Now we're like, huh, what IS the total number of possible points! Too bad we can't just go to Bree's math teacher and ask-

There are many ways to find the answer. Number lines, equations. This is what I did:

52 / 85 = 0.85

Now move the decimal point two times to get a percentage which gives you 85%. Or you can just get rid of the decimal point and put a 100 as a denominator. It's still the same thing.

Hope this helps! :D
