Answer:
40 questions
Explanation:
The total number of questions on his test represents 100%.
So, If he correctly answered 85% of the questions, then he missed 15% of the questions because:
100% - 85% = 15%
Therefore, 15% of the questions are equivalent to 6 questions, then we need to find the number equivalent to 100%. So 100% is equivalent to:
[tex]100\text{ \% }\times\frac{6}{15\text{ \%}}=40[/tex]Then, there were 40 questions on his test.
