Answer:
15 times
Step-by-step explanation:
Suppose, he hits bulls eye for x number of times out of 50 shots.
Hits bulls eye = x times
Misses bulls eye = (50-x) times
Money received = 20*x
Money paid = 8*(50-x)
Total money he received —
20*x — 8*(50-x) = 20
Solve for x and you will get 15 as answer.
