Answer:
0, 6
Step-by-step explanation:
If you do the proportion, you have to put 1/5 = 20/100. The 20 represents the percentage. Then you have to say to yourself that how many time 5 goes to 100, well its x20 then if we multiply 1 x 20 we'll get 20. So, he is correct, 1/5 = 20%. Remember what number we think of when we hear the word percent, the number is 100.

Answer:
1.6% shrinkage
Step-by-step explanation:
907,340 - 875,435 = 31,905
31,905 / 1,988,345 = .0160 = 1.6%
Percent error : (approximate value - exact value) / exact value.....x 100
percent error : (5.75 - 6.25) / 6.25......ignore any negative signs
0.5 / 6.25 = 0.08.....x 100 = 8% error <==
