A. 8
B. 70
C. 4
D. 76

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is D.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Larry wrong 5% of the questions and he correct the remaining 95%. So in order to find how many questions he correct, first, you have to convert the percentage to decimal by dividing it by 100 :

$95\% = \frac{95}{100} = 0.95$

Next, you have to multiply by the total number of questions :

$0.95 \times 80 = 76 \: questions$

Answer 2

5% of 80 is 4, so he got 4 wrong
80-4=76
he got 76 correct
