Question

What is the formula of 20 is 4% of what number. How do you get the whole number

Answer 1

Well we know 4% is just 4/100.

So 20 = 4/100.

Let's find out what 1/100 is and multiply that by 100:

20/4 = 5.

So 1/100 = 5.

5*100 = 500.

Answer 2

.04 * x = 20

x = 500

Explanation:

4% is just 4/100 or .04

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

0.04x=20

Step 1: Divide both sides by 0.04.

0.04x / 0.04 = 20 / 0.04

x=500
