Question

A test has 25 questions.

If peter gets 80% correct, how many questions did peter MISS!
(Whoever answers can you please give me a clear explanation?)

Answer 1

Peter missed five questions.

Explanation:

Since the test has twenty-five questions, and Peter got 80% correct...

80/100 = __/25 <--What number is the numerator?

Well, to get from 100 to 25, you have to divide by 4. 100/4 = 25.

Now, what is 80/4? If you do the math, you should get 20.

25 (Total Questions) - 20 (Questions Correctly Answered) = 5 (Questions Incorrectly Answered)
