Answer by jim_thompson5910(35256) About Me  (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
20th percentile means her score is higher than 20% of the population

20% of 400 = 0.20*400 = 80

she scored better than 80 people, which means 400-80-1 = 319 people scored better than her.

Her rank is 320
