Question 821034: Out of 80 questions if I got 70% right how many did I get wrong

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
70% of 80 = 0.70*80 = 56

So you got 56 questions correct.

That means you got 80 - 56 = 24 questions wrong.

-------------------------------------------------------

Alternative Method:

You got 70% correct, so you got 100 - 70 = 30% incorrect.

30% of 80 = 0.30*80 = 24
