Question

Nia answered 80% of the 40 questions on a test correctly. How many correct answers did she have?

Answer 1

32 questions 40 * .80 = 32

Answer 2

Nia answered correct answers = 80% of the 40 questions

When we remove % sign from a number, we divide that number by 100

= $\frac{80}{100}$ of 40

=$\frac{80}{100} \times 40$

Cancelling the two zeroes from numerator and denominator,

= $8 \times 4$

= 32.

Total correct answers answered by Nia = 32
