If you had a test with 60 questions and you answered 80 percent correctly how many questions did you answer corectly?

You would have answered 48 of 60 questions correct.

To figure out a mathematical problem like this again here is how you set up the equation:

First, you need to know how many you answered correct out of 60. The unknown value is then X.

X /60

Second, you know you achieved a percentage of 80%. This means, in other Words, if there were 100 questions you would have answered 80 correctly. (The ratio for percentages is something over 100).

80/100

You now have your equation!!

X/60 = 80/100

Start by multiplying 80 by 60 to isolate the variable (X).

X = 4800/100

Simplify the equation.

X=48

There is your answer!! In order to achieve a score of 80% you would have answered 48 of 60 questions correctly. :-)
