28

Step-by-step explanation:

A is the unknown

"42 students received an A on the second test which is 150% of the students who received an A on the second test"

150/100 * A=42

150 * A=42*100

150A=4200

A=4200/150

A=28

Therefore, the number of students that received an A on the second test is 28.
