20% of a = 11


(20)/(100) a = 11


(1)/(5) a = 11

a = 55

I hope this helps! If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Answer.

2.2

Why:

in percents you always put the percent above 100% ( so it'll look like this---- 20/100) and your number that is left out would be 11 so you put it by your percent like this----20 a

100 11

so now you do divide and multiply: you divide 20 by 100 and multiply by 11 to get a which is 2.2
