Let's break down the information given:
- "Twenty percent of your grade" can be represented as \(0.20 \times \text{Grade}\).
- "is 80 points" gives us an equation.
So we can write the algebraic expression as:
\[
0.20 \times \text{Grade} = 80
\]
To find your grade, you can solve for \(\text{Grade}\):
\[
\text{Grade} = \frac{80}{0.20}
\]
Calculating this gives:
\[
\text{Grade} = 400
\]
Thus, your grade was 400 points.
