Answer:
The student had a total of 25 questions on his test.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
Number of questions answered correctly in the test = 20
Percentage scored in the test = 80%
Let,
x be the total number of questions on test.
We know that 80% of the test is 20 questions, therefore,
80% of x = 20
[tex]\frac{80}{100}x=20\\0.8x=20[/tex]
Dividing both sides by 0.8
[tex]\frac{0.8x}{0.8}=\frac{20}{0.8}\\x=25[/tex]
Hence,
The student had a total of 25 questions on his test.
