1)

A student earned a grade of 80% on a math test that had
20 problems. How many problems on this test did the
student answer correctly? (round to the nearest whole
number) 87

Answer 1

number of questions = 20

her score in percentage = 80%

therefore, 20/20×100=100

the number of correct questions are unknown that is £

£/20×100=80

100€/20= 80

£=80×20/100

£=16

Answer 2

16

Number of problems in the math test = 20

The student earned 80%

Therefore

Number of problems answered correctly in the test by the student

Make 80% a decimal

= 80/100 x 20

= 0.8 x 20

= 16
