Question

Translate the following into an algebraic expression: A number is 30% of 20% of the number x.

Answer 1

Answer: 0.06x

Step-by-step explanation:

• An algebraic expression is an expression consist of integer constants, variables, and algebraic operations.

The given statement:  A number is 30% of 20% of the number x.

The required algebraic expression would be:

30% of 20% of x

$=\dfrac{30}{100}\times \dfrac{20}{100}\times x$  [we divide a percentage by 100 to convert it into decimal]

$=\dfrac{6}{100}\times x\\\\=0.06x$

Hence, the required algebraic expression would be :

0.06x
