How do you find 20 percent of 80?

Answer 1

It'll help you to know that 20% is the same amount as 0.2, and that

the word "of" in word-problems almost always means "times".

Knowing both of those facts, you can re-write the question: 0.2 x 80,

and then it's easy to do the arithmetic, and find that it's 16 .

Answer 2

16
