The answer is:  "39 points" .
_______________________________________________________
Explanation:
_______________________________________________________
" x/ 50 = 78/100 " ;   in which "x" equals the number of points needed.

_______________________________________________________

To solve for "x" ; 
_______________________________________________________

Look at the denominators:  50 * (what value?) = 100.

→ "100 ÷ 50 = 2" .

→ So;  "50 * 2 = 100" ; 

So, let us look at the numerators:

x * 2 = 78 ; 

↔  2x = 72 ; 

Divide each side of the equation by "2" ; to isolate "x" on one side of the equation ; and to solve for "x" ;
_____________________________________________
 →  78 ÷ 2 = 39 ;

The answer is:  "39 points" .

The proportion to find how many points x a student needs to score on a test worth 50 points to get a test score of 78% will be x/50 = 78/100

Based on the information given, the equation to solve the question will be:

x/50 = 78/100

Cross multiply

100x = 78 × 50

x = (78 × 50) / 100

x = 39

Therefore, the score is 39 and the equation is x/50 = 78/100.
