Answer:

40%

Explanation:

A good way to remember how to do percentages is starting with 10% of overall.

Overall, 10% of the $50 would be $5
you just move the decimal from $50.00 to $5.00
moving it to the left once, for ten percent

theres $20 so thats the 10x2

20 goes into 100, 5 times ...

It just so happens in this scenario, its 20% just like the $20 ... doesnt always happen like this.
