Explain the strategy you used to solve this problem?
10% of 20
I multiply: 0.1 * 20
put it like this
100% is 20 then
10% is x
now you just have to cross multiply
so u get .....
100x=(20) * (10)
therefore, x=(20)*(10)/100
x=2
x=2
To solve the problem of finding 10% of 20, the strategy I used is to multiply the number by the percentage value in decimal form.
First, I converted 10% to decimal form by dividing the percentage by 100. In this case, 10 divided by 100 equals 0.10.
Then, I multiplied 0.10 by the number 20. The calculation is 0.10 multiplied by 20, which equals 2.
Therefore, the answer to 10% of 20 is 2.
