230,688 PointsIf your code is like the video, correct is just the number of correct answers, and there is no variable that holds the number of questions so the number 5 is put in the literal part of the string.
If your code is significantly different from the video, show it so we can take a look — preferably by making a snapshot of your workspace and posting the link to it.

Is the second placeholder meant to represent the total number of questions? Please also post your full code so that we can better help.
