Where do you get the 75% in the posting title that can’t name the first U.S. President, when the first paragraph/sentence says one in four can’t name the first President?

Only reprinting the title as it was printed in the article. The mods would delete it otherwise. :)

It’s in the article.

“Who was the first President of the United States?” (percent correct) 23%

It says only one in four could name him, not one in four can't name him.

Direct quote:

Only one in four Oklahoma public high school students can name the first President of the United States, according to a survey released today.

One in four equals 25%. That means 75% cannot.
