Answer:

20 questions

Explanation:

1.) Use the following equation:


(x)/(y) =
(p)/(100)

2.) For this equation,

  • x is the # of test question you got right
  • y is the total # of test questions
  • p is the grade you got on the test

3.) Substitute


(x)/(25) =
(80)/(100)

4.) Solve


(x)/(25) =
(80)/(100)


(x)/(25) =
(8)/(10)


(x)/(25) =
(4)/(5)

5.) Cross Multiply


(x)/(25) =
(4)/(5)

5x = 100

6.) Divide

5x = 100

x = 20

Therefore, you got 20 questions right.
