To find the percentage of questions Brendan got correct on his social studies test, you need to divide the number of questions he got correct by the total number of questions and then multiply by 100.
The total number of questions is found by adding the number of questions Brendan got correct to the number of questions he missed: 32 + 8 = 40.
Next, you divide the number of questions he got correct by the total number of questions: 32 / 40 = 0.8.
Finally, multiply the result by 100 to find the percentage: 0.8 * 100 = 80%.
Therefore, Brendan had 80% correct on his social studies test.
