Question

Two dimes is what percent of a dollar?

Answer 1

So percent means parts out of 100
x%=x/100

2 dimes=2 times 10 cents=20 cents
1 dollar=100 cents
20 cents out of 100 cents
20 cents/100 cents=20/100=20%

Answer 2

2 dimes is 20% of a dollar because since a dollar equals 100 cents and percents are out of 100, and each dime equals 10 cents.the fraction would be 20/100. Hope it helped!!
