16-5 = 11
11/16*100 = 68.75%
Thus if you got all of the 11 questions you did do COMPLETELY correct the maximum mark you could get would be 69%. However, if you got any of your 11 answers wrong your score would be less than this.
To determine your grade based on 20 questions with 4 wrong answers, you first need to calculate the total number of questions answered correctly. Subtract the number of wrong answers (4) from the total questions (20) to get the correct answers (20 - 4 = 16). Then, divide the number of correct answers (16) by the total questions (20) and multiply by 100 to get the percentage. So, your grade would be 80%.

You can only miss 16 points on a 100 point test in order to get an 84%. If the questions are worth 2 points EACH, you can miss 8. If the questions are worth 4 points each, you can only miss 4 questions.
If each of the 16 questions is worth the same credit, then your score is 31.3% correct, 68.7% incorrect. Each teacher decides what range of scores will get which letter grade, and it might be different on different tests. But it's hard to imagine that your score on this one could get any passing grade.
If you need 75% to past a test of 16 questions, you need to get at least 12 or more right...
you would have a 94

To get seventy percent or better on a quiz of 16 questions one needs 11.2 answers correctly answered. So it is best not to miss 4 but definitely not to miss 5 or more. This answer is arrived at by taking the 16 questions and multiplying by .70 (70 percent) or 16 x .70 = 11.2.
If each of the 16 questions is worth the same credit, then your score is 31.3% correct, 68.7% incorrect.

You're permitted to give wrong answers to as many questions as you want to, and correct or blank answers to the rest of them. Unfortunately, however, the custom is that if you exceed some number of wrong or blank answers, then you fail the test.
