She could earn 320 possible points on her research paper.

Explanation:

So in order to find the possible points, we need to multiple 400 by 0.20 (converted this to a decimal by dividing 20 over 100 which is 0.20. So #400*0.20 = 80#.

But we need to subtract 80 from 400 which gives us: 320. So she could earn 320 possible points on her research paper.
