Answer: 25

Explanation:

Given

The student earned 80% on a math test

The student answered 20 questions

Suppose x is the total no of questions

So, we can write

$\Rightarrow (20)/(x)* 100=80\%\\\Rightarrow (20)/(x)=0.8\\\\\Rightarrow (20)/(0.8)=x\\\\\Rightarrow x=25$

So, there are 25 questions in total
