Given the number:
70
Determine 20 % of the number.
Solution:
In order to determine 20% of the number, we simply needed to multiply 70 by the decimal value of 20%. This means that we needed to convert 20% first to decimal. In converting a percentage into decimal, divide the percentage by 100, hence in converting a decimal to percentage, multiply the percentage by 100.
= 20/100
= 0.2
Multiply 0.2 by 70
= (0.2)(70)
= 14
Final answer:
20% of 70 is 14.
