A student correctly answered 80% of the 20 questions on the test how many questions did the student answer correctly

Answer: 16

Step-by-step explanation:

Explanation:

First you convert

80

%

into a decimal which is

.80

then you multiply it by

20 ...80 * 20 = 16

We multiply it by

20

because that's our total and by

.80

because that's the amount that we got correct. Had it been

100

%

then that would mean we got every question right.

16 because 80% of 20 is 16.
