Question

Write an equation and solve. Round to the nearest hundredth where necessary.

Answer 1

Answer: n= 0.2 * 85; 17

Step-by-step explanation: I guess what you're asking is which one of these is accurate. In that case mulitply the percent by the whole to find the part so 85 times 20% is 0.2 as a decimal so 85 times 0.2 = 17. 20% of 85 is 17 :)

Answer 2

20/100 x 85
Reduce the fraction with 20
1/5 x 85
Reduce the numbers with the greatest common factor 5
17
