Answer: 5
Explanation:
Data: Half of 25% of 0.2 of 200=x
Step one, Find 0.2 of 200
0.2=20%
20% of 100=20 so 20% of 200=40
Reason: 0.2 is another way of writing 20% so you can find 20% of 200 with a shortcut. basically since 20% of 100 is 20 and 200 is 100x2 you can just multiply 20x2 to get 20% of 200, which is 40.
Step two, Find 25% of 40
40/4=10 which means 4x10=40
10=25% of 40
Reason: Since percent is based of 100, we know that multiplying 25 by 4 will get us 100 so all we need to go to find 25% of something it divide it by 4. 40/4 is 10 so 10 would be 25% of 40(0.2 of 200)
Step three, Find half of 10
10/2=5
Reason: To find the half of anything, you insert the number(x) into here 'x/2' or just divide it by two, it's the same thing. And since 10/2 is 5 half of 10 is 5.
So, half of 25% of 0.2 of 200 is 5
I hope this helps!
