I'm surprised that no one else came. @bohotness

OpenStudy (bohotness):

ik this is the problem i have no one helps only you :(

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

The test is 80 questions. If you do 60% of it what would that be. Hint: Remember that "is" become "=" and "of" becomes a multiplication symbol.

OpenStudy (bohotness):

okay

OpenStudy (bohotness):

ao times .60 80?

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

Correct.

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

So how many questions did he finish.

OpenStudy (bohotness):

4800

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

\[.60 \times 80=?\]

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

Close.

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

Remember that it's .60 not 60.

OpenStudy (bohotness):

48

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

Yes.

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

But the question asks about how many he skipped.

OpenStudy (bohotness):

thats plus

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

So if he does 48 questions out of 80 then you can easily find out how many he skipped by subtracting 48 from 80.

OpenStudy (bohotness):

32

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

Correct.

OpenStudy (bohotness):

can you help me with a frew more?

OpenStudy (confluxepic):

Sure. Ask them in a new post.

OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):

The answer is D because .... 60% of 80 is 48.. so he answered 48 questions.. 80 - 48 = 32 unanswered questions :D
