1) what is 20% of 20? 2) what is 15 is what percent of 30? 3) 50 is 50% of what?

Hi there!

The word "of" is the same thing as a multiplication sign.

1)

20% = 0.2

0.2 × 20 = 4

2)

? × 30 = 15

divide each side of the equation by 30

? = 0.5

0.5 = 50%

3)

50% = 0.5

0.5 × ? = 50

divide each side of the equation by 0.5

? = 100

There you go! I really hope this helped, if there's anything just let me know! :)

What is 20% of 20?

To find the percent of a number, you have to change the percent into a decimal or a fraction and multiply by the number.

DECIMAL:

To change a percent into a decimal, remove the percent sign and move the decimal point 2 places to the left.

Now that you have your decimal, multiply by 20:

ANSWER  = 4

FRACTION:

To change a percent into a fraction, make the percent number as the numerator(top number) and 100 as the denominator(bottom number) since fractions are out of 100.

Now that you have your fraction, multiply by 20:

ANSWER = 4

15 is what percent of 30?

For questions like these, you have to divide. In this question, you have to divide 15 by 30 and change that into a percent.

First divide:

Now you need to change the decimal into a fraction.

To change a decimal into a percent, you have to add a percent sign and move the decimal point 2 places to the right.

ANSWER = 50%

50 is 50% of what?

For this question, you can make an equation.

To make it easier, change 50% to a decimal:

Here is your new equation:

x is your answer. To find your answer, you have to divide both sides by 0.5 to leave x alone. Divide:

ANSWER = 100
