A test has 20 questions. If Jeri gets 80 percent correct, how many questions did she miss?

Start by determining the percentage of correct answers Jeri made, so 80 percent of 20 or 80/100 × 20 = 0.80 × 20 = 16. Sixteen is the percentage, or what you get when you take the percent of a number. Now that we know how many questions Jeri got correct - 16 - we can figure out how many she missed: 20 − 16 = 4
