Mr smith has 50 papers. he graded 38 papers, and he had a scholar grade the rest. what percent of the papers did each person grade?

If you would like to know what percent of the papers did each person grade, you can calculate this using the following steps:

Mr Smith: x% of 50 papers is 38 papers
x% * 50 = 38
x/100 * 50 = 38     /*100/50
x = 38 * 100 / 50
x = 76%

The scholar: 100% - 76% = 24%

Result: Mr Smith graded 76% of the papers and the scholar 24%.
