Answer:

2.5%

Explanation:

Solving

Step 1: Set up an equation.


  • (x)/(100) *20=0.5

Step 2: Simplify both sides.


  • (20)/(100)x=0.5

  • (1)/(5)x=0.5

  • 0.2x=0.5

Step 3: Divide both sides by 0.2


  • 0.2x/0.2=0.5/0.2

  • x=2.5

Therefore, 0.5 is 2.5% of 20.

Have a lovely rest of your day/night, and good luck with your assignments! ♡
