Answer:

16 questions answered correctly

Explanation:

Since the student answered 80% of the questions correctly, we can find 80% of 20 to answer this question.

[] First we will convert the percent into a decimal format;

80% / 100 = 0.8

[] Then we will multiply this by 20 to find our answer;

20 * 0.8 = 16 questions answered correctly
