Question

What is the percent of 10 of 20 please give me a better understanding

Answer 1

50 percent.

Explanation:

10 of 20 as a fraction is

10/20

- divide top and bottom by 10 and this simplifies to

1/2.

To convert to a percentage we multiply by 100:

= 1/2 * 100

= 50%.

Answer 2

We need to calculate the 10% of 20. By definition, a% is:

`a\text{ \%}=(a)/(100)`

Where a can be any positive number. In this case a = 10, then:

`10\text{ \%}=(10)/(100)=(1)/(10)`

In mathematics, the word "of" is reserved for the product. Then 10% of 20 is just:

`10\text{ \% of }20=(1)/(10)\cdot20`

Solving this leads to 2.
