Answer 2

Answer:

John scored 46 points out of 230 points in the test.

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of points achieved by john in the test = 46  

Percentage of points achieved by john in the test = 20%  

Let the total points be x,

Therefore, According to the question: 20% of x = 46 $\Rightarrow$ 0.2x = 46  $\Rightarrow$$x=\frac{46}{0.2}=230\Rightarrow x=230$

Hence, total points in the test were 230.
