AI Generated Solution

The correct Answer is:
To find out what percentage of questions Pooja answered correctly, we can follow these steps: ### Step 1: Understand the fraction of questions answered correctly Pooja answered \( \frac{4}{5} \) of the questions correctly. This means that out of every 5 questions, she answered 4 correctly. ### Step 2: Set up the formula for percentage To convert a fraction to a percentage, we use the formula: \[ \text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{Number of correct answers}}{\text{Total number of questions}} \right) \times 100 \] ### Step 3: Substitute the values into the formula In this case: - Number of correct answers = 4 - Total number of questions = 5 Substituting these values into the formula gives us: \[ \text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{4}{5} \right) \times 100 \] ### Step 4: Perform the calculation Now, we need to calculate \( \frac{4}{5} \times 100 \): \[ \frac{4}{5} = 0.8 \] So, \[ 0.8 \times 100 = 80 \] ### Step 5: State the final answer Thus, Pooja answered **80%** of the questions correctly. ---
