There were 74 problems in the test.

<h2>Rounding-off percentage</h2>

Let the student got total number of problems in the test to be X.

Percentage of correct answer = 39 %

⇒ 61% of X were incorrect

⇒61/100 x X = 45

⇒61X = 45x100

⇒X = 4500/61

⇒X=73.77

After rounding off 73.77, we get 74.

Hence, we can say that there were total of 74 problems in the test.
