Answer:

72%

Explanation:

There are a total of 50 quizzes in the year

From the first 20, the student passes 60%. This makes a total of


(60)/(100) (20) = 12

12 passes

Out of the remaining 30 quizzes the student passes in 80% of them. This makes a total of


(80)/(100) (30) = 12

24 passes

Adding the two values

12 + 24 = 36

The student passes 36 quizzes out of 50.

We convert this to a percentage


(36)/(50) (100) = 72%
