Answer:

20 represents a 40% of 50.

The percentage is 40.

The base is 50.

The amount is 20.

Step-by-step explanation:

Observe that we want to find the percentage that the number 20 represents where 50 is the total.

The fatest way to solve this problem is by dividing

$\frac{20}{50}= 0.4$

Then, we multiply by 100, to express it in percetange

$0.4 \times 100\%=40\%$

Therefore, 20 represents a 40% of 50.

• The percentage is 40%.
• The base is 50, which represents 100%.
• The amount is 20.

If we express each element, it would be

$40\% \times 50=20$
