35 percent of 20 is 7.

To find this answer, you set up two ratios.

100 35

20 x

The first ratio,100 over 20, is showing that 100 percent is equal to 20. The second ratio, 35 over x, is showing that 35 percent is equal to the number that would go on the bottom. But since you don't know what that number is, you put an x there instead.

To find x, you simply multiply 20 by 35 and divide the product (700) by 100, which would be 7. And there's your answer: 35 percent of 20 is 7. You're welcome. J
