Question 954319: if a test has 60 questions and you must pass the test with at least 80% how many test questions can you miss

80% is equal to 4/5 so we can multiply 4/5 by 60 to get how many questions you can miss. 60%2A%284%2F5%29=48
Subtract 48 from 60 to get 12. So you can miss 12 questions on the test.
