Answer:

10

Explanation:

20% is equivalent to 0.2. If we do the math 50 x 0.2, we get 10.

Solving 50 x 0.2:

50 x 0.2 | Move the decimal right once to make a whole in 0.2, move the decimal left one (because we are doing multiplication) in 50.

5.0 x 02 | Remove any unnecessary 0s.

5 x 2 | Solve.

10 | Answer.

50 x 0.2 = 10
