Se did not got an A, as you said she needs at least 90% right and she only got 80% right. She had to score at least 18 of the questions correct.

16/20=80/100

16*5=80
18*5=90
Brianna shouldn't recieve an A because she didnt get enough question correct. In order to get 90% she had to answer 18 questions correctly. MY WORK 20 = 100% Now that you know this you need to convert 100% to a number that can be multipled to get 90 100/10 = 10 Do the same thing you did to 100 to 20 20/10=2 Now you multiply 10% x 9 to get 90% Again do the same to 2 2 x 9= 18 18 = 90% She need 18 questions correct
