Answer: 46%

Explanation:

x / 10 = 20

x / 10 x 10 = 20 x 10

x = 200

23% = 23/100 = 46/200

46%

x = 200 because when finding 10% of s number we divide the number to 10. then you find 23 percent of 200. which is 46, because percentages are found out of 100 and 200 is 100 multiplied by 2. So we have to multiply 23 by 2. the answer is 46.
