Nadia took a math test that had 20 questions. Each question was worth five points.
If Nadia answered 85 percent of the questions correctly, how many points did she score on the test?
-------------------------------------------------------------------

85% of 20 questions is/are %2885%2F100%29%2A20 = 17 questions answered correctly.

Since Nadia got 5 points for each of 17 correctly answered questions, she earned 5*17 = 85 points.

Great job, Nadia!
