Answer 1

The correct answer is

80% of 20 = 16

Explanation:

points to remember

x% of y is given by

(x/100) * y

To find 80% of 20

Let 'x' be the 80% of 20 then we can write,

x = (80/100) * 20

x = (8/10) * 20

= 8 * 2 = 16

Therefore 80% of 20 is 16

The correct answer is 16

Answer 2

When you say Percent, you really mean per 100. So percentage is the result you get when multiplying a quantity by a percent. To find 80% of 20, we can use the following expression:

`20* (80)/(100)=16`

That is the product of 80 and 20 divided by 100, which is 16.
