What is 20 percent of 5000 percent?

Answer 1

"percent" means "out of 100"

20 percent of 5000 is:

20/100 x 5000 = 1000

Correct - as far as it goes.

But the question was not 20 percent of 5000, it was 20 percent of 5000 percent.

So the answer is 1000 percent. And that, in turn, gives the correct answer of 10
