To solve the percentage of answers NOT correct, the easiest way is to find the amount correct and subtract that from 100 (fractions are out of 100).
So, to find the percentage of answers correct you would divide 44 by 55
44%2F55
After doing the division, you get 0.8 or 80%
Since this is the percentage of answers correct we subtract 80 from 100 100-80 and get an answer of 20.
So the answer to your question is B.) 20%
I hope this helped you.
