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.
