Jose correctly answers 80% of the questions on a language arts quiz. If he answed 16 questions correctly, how many questions were on the language arts quiz?

Respuesta :

Let's set up a proportion.

16/x= 80/100

16*5=80
x*5=100
x=20

Final answer: 20 questions total
80% = 80/100 = .8

let x be the total no. of question

.8x = 16
x = 20

total no. of question on the art quiz = 20
