What fraction of two pound is 30p?

To determine the fraction of two pounds that is equivalent to 30p, we first need to convert the pence amount to pounds. Since there are 100 pence in a pound, 30p is equal to 30/100 = 0.3 pounds. To find the fraction, we divide 0.3 by 2, which equals 0.3/2 = 3/20. Therefore, 30p is equivalent to 3/20 of two pounds.

What is fifty per cent of twenty pounds?

10 pounds. The word "percent" (%) comes from the Latin "per centum", which means "for every hundred". 10 pounds is fifty percent of 20 pounds, because 10 is half of 20, and 50 is half of 100. Percentages make fractions easier to visualise, because they express proportions of 100, or to put that another way, the percentage is the number of hundredths the fraction is equivalent to. For example, which is bigger: three eights (3/8) or one third (1/3)? This is easier to see if we express each fraction as a percentage. 3/8 is 37.5 percent (100*3/8), and 1/3 is 33.3 percent (100*1/3). In other words, 3/8 is 37.5 hundredths, and 1/3 is 33.3 hundredths. From this, we can see easily that 3/8 is more than 1/3. For percentages of 20 pounds, each hundredth is worth 0.2 (20/100) pounds. So fifty percent (fifty hundredths) is worth 0.2 * 50 = 10 pounds. In this case the answer is very easy anyway, because fifty percent of something is always half of it, and half of 20 pounds is 10 pounds.
