To find out how many puzzles one student would complete, you can divide the total number of puzzles by the number of students:

\[ \text{Puzzles per student} = \frac{\text{Total puzzles}}{\text{Number of students}} = \frac{80}{15} \]

Calculating that gives:

\[ \frac{80}{15} \approx 5.33 \]

Rounding that to the nearest whole number would give you 5.

So, one student would complete approximately 5 puzzles.
