Question

Use the percent​ formula, A=PB​: A is P percent of​ B, to answer the following question. 20% of what number is 46.0​?

Answer 1

230

Explanation:

trying to find (in this case, 46.0), P is the percentage (20%), and B is the whole amount we're looking for. We can write this equation as:

46.0 = 0.20B

To solve for B, we can divide both sides by 0.20:

B = 46.0 / 0.20

B = 230

Therefore, 20% of 230 is 46.0.
