70 % of 80 = 70/100 x 80

= 56

So you must get 56 right, which means you can get 80 - 56 = 24 wrong.

Alternatively:

If you must get 70 % right, then you can get 100 % - 70 % = 30 % wrong.

30 % of 80 = 30/100 x 80

= 24

You can miss 24.

Another way to look at it: 70% is 0.70 as a decimal. Multiply the decimal into any number and you have it as that percentage.

80 x 0.70 = 56
