Question

Which expression shows a way to find 20% of 950? 950 20 20 What is it

Answer 1

To find 20% of 950 you would set it up as a proportion. When doing percentages the prevent is always out of 100 so the first step would be 20/100. You are trying to find a number out of 950 so the second part would be ?/950. Now you want to cross multiply and divide. 20*950=19,000 then you divide it by 100 (your other number) 19,000/100=190. So 20% of 950 is 190.
