How would you write 6 of 20 as a percent?

Answer 1

The easiest way to solve these type of problems is to look for a simplification of the problem. Thus, we see that 6/20 is the same as 3/10. Now, we see that our answers (in decimals) equals 0,3. To get our answer in percent, we need to multiply the decimal value with 100 (seeing as percent stands for one hundreth (1/100), and we are doing the reverse operation (multiplying with 100) to get the percentage).

We get 0,3*100 which equals 30 %.
