AI Generated Solution

The correct Answer is:
To find the percentage of questions Apana answered correctly, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Identify the total number of questions and the number of correct answers. - Total number of questions = 20 - Number of questions answered correctly = 18 ### Step 2: Use the formula for percentage. The formula to calculate the percentage of correct answers is: \[ \text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{Number of correct answers}}{\text{Total number of questions}} \right) \times 100 \] ### Step 3: Substitute the values into the formula. Substituting the values we have: \[ \text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{18}{20} \right) \times 100 \] ### Step 4: Simplify the fraction. Now, we simplify the fraction \( \frac{18}{20} \): \[ \frac{18}{20} = 0.9 \] ### Step 5: Multiply by 100 to find the percentage. Now, we multiply by 100 to convert it to a percentage: \[ 0.9 \times 100 = 90 \] ### Conclusion Apana answered 90% of the questions correctly. ---
