Let the total number of questions in the math test be defined by the variable x.
Now, we know that Parker correctly answered 35 questions. These 35 questions make 70% of the total number of questions on his math test.
The information we have above can be expressed as an equation given below:
70% of x=35
This can be rewritten as:
[tex] \frac{70}{100}x=35 [/tex]
Thus, to find the total number of questions we will have to isolate x.
[tex] \therefore x=\frac{35\times 100}{70}=50 [/tex]
Therefore, there were a total of 50 questions in the math test.
