Question

20% of 55 is what number

Answer 1

The percentage equation can be written as,

`\begin{gathered} \text{Percent}=(Number)/(Total)*100 \\ \text{Number}=\frac{Percent\text{ }}{100}* Total \end{gathered}`

We have to find 20% of 55. So, percent=20% and total=55.

Now, putting the values in equation, we get

`\text{Number}=(20)/(100)*55=11`

Therefore, the number is 11.
