Answer 2

Answer:

$\displaystyle{ \sf Sean's\: test\: score\: as \: a \:percent \: is\boxed{\red{\bf \: 65 \%}}.}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Sean spelled – 13 words

Out of – 20 words

So,it means that Sean spelled -

$\sf \: \cfrac{13}{20}$

So,Sean spelled 13/20 words correctly on his spelling test.

We need to write his test score as percent.

We know that,

$\boxed{\sf \: Percentage = \: \cfrac{One \: quantity}{Other \: quantity} \times 100}$

Here, One Quantity is 13 and other quantity is 20.

So just Put the values on their respective place:-

$\sf \implies \: Percentage = \cfrac{13}{20} \times 100$

Simply cancel one zero of 20 and one zero of 100 :

$\sf \implies \: Percentage = \cfrac{13}{2 \cancel0} \times 10 \cancel0$

$\sf \implies \: Percentage = \cfrac{13}{2} \times 10$

Now cancel 2 and 10 as it gives 5 :

$\sf \implies \: Percentage = \cfrac{13}{ \cancel2} \times \cancel{{10}}\: \: ^5$

$\sf \implies \: Percentage = \: 13 \times 5$

Simply Multiply 13 and 5 :-

$\sf \implies \: Percentage =65$

$\boxed{ \sf Percentage= 65\%}$

Hence,Sean's test score as a percent is 65 % .
