watch the transformation from english to maths...once you understand, you can go from the first line to the last directly.
starting with English...
you got 70% of 20 answers correct
you got 70 percent of 20 answers correct
you got 70 "out of 100" of 20 answers correct
you got (70/100) of 20 answers correct
ending up with maths...
you got (70/100) x 20 answers correct
answer is therefore 14
