math: a student received a 92% on their exam, which had 60 questions. How many questions did the answer incorrectly

To determine how many questions the student answered incorrectly, we can first calculate how many questions they answered correctly and then subtract that from the total number of questions.

1. The student scored 92%, which means they got 92% of the 60 questions correct.

\[
92\% \times 60 = \frac{92}{100} \times 60 = 55.2
\]

The student got 55.2 questions correct, but since the number of questions must be whole, we round to 55 questions answered correctly.

2. To find the number of questions answered incorrectly:

\[
60 - 55 = 5
\]

So, the student answered 5 questions incorrectly.
