If the score is 90% and the total is 70, what is the number correct?

If you mean that the total number of questions is 70, then:

You need to figure out what 90% is of the total, 70.
Do this by multiplying 70 by 90% --> 70*(.9)
90% of 70 is 63. The total number correct is 63.

You can check your work by figuring out what percentage 63 is of 70. 63 divided by 70 (63/70) is .9, or 90%.

The number of correct answers is 63, which is 90% of a total of 70 questions. This was calculated by multiplying 70 by 0.9. Verification of the result shows that 63 divided by 70 equals 90%.
