Answer:

John scored 46 points out of 230 points in the test.

Explanation:

Number of points achieved by john in the test = 46

Percentage of points achieved by john in the test = 20%

Let the total points be x,

Therefore, According to the question: 20% of x = 46
$\Rightarrow$ 0.2x = 46
$\Rightarrow$
$x=(46)/(0.2)=230\Rightarrow x=230$

Hence, total points in the test were 230.
