problems

Identify total problems and percentage: Step $1$ : Identify the total number of problems and the percentage Edmond answered correctly. $\newline$ Total problems = $20$ , Percentage correct = $60\%$ $\newline$ Calculate the number of correct answers by converting the percentage to a fraction of the total. $\newline$ $20$ problems $\times 60\% = 20 \times 0.6$
Calculate correct answers: Step $2$ : Perform the multiplication to find out how many problems were answered correctly. $\newline$ $20 \times 0.6 = 12$
