Question

How to divide 100.00 by 20%

Answer 1

Answer:

500.000

Step-by-step explanation:

"Percent" means "per 100" or "over 100". To convert 20% to a decimal rewrite 20 percent in terms of per 100 or over 100.

20% = 20 over 100 or,

20%=20100

20 over 100 is the same as 20 divided by 100. Completing the division we get: 20 ÷ 100 = 0.2

Therefore, I have shown that 20% = 0.2

Now let's solve it:

Change the divisor 0.2 to a whole number by moving the decimal point 1 places to the right. Then move the decimal point in the dividend the same, 1 places to the right.

We then have the equations:

1000 ÷ 2 = 500.000

and therefore:

100 ÷ 0.2 = 500.000
