To convert a percentage to a decimal you can simply move the decimal two places to the left. 80% = 0.80

OpenStudy (anonymous):
divide by 100 in other words
OpenStudy (anonymous):
then take that .8 and times it by your main number 30
OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

6?
OpenStudy (anonymous):

You can skip the last step altogether since you know it's asking how many he did not get correct. Simply convert 20% to a decimal and multiply that by the total amount of questions.
