Ellison has completed 55 credits but has attempted 85 credits. What is their calculated pace?

To calculate the pace for a student, you determine the ratio of the credits completed to the credits attempted. This is expressed as a percentage.

In Ellison's case, they have completed 55 credits out of 85 credits attempted. The formula for calculating the pace is as follows:

Pace = (Credits Completed / Credits Attempted) x 100

Substituting in Ellison's numbers gives us:

Pace = (55 / 85) x 100

Calculating this:

1. First, divide 55 by 85, which equals approximately 0.6471.

2. Then, multiply by 100 to get the percentage, resulting in approximately 64.71%.

Rounding this percentage to the nearest whole number gives you 65%. Thus, the correct answer reflecting Ellison's pace in the completion of attempted credits is 65%.
