Write a percent equation that can be used to solve the following problem:820 is 20% of what number?
A. n=0.2x 820
B. 820=0.2x n
C. 0.2= nx 820
D. none of these
Is the answer A?
1. Part = n, while = 750, percent = 15
2. 820 = 0.2 • n
3. None of these
4. 85%
5. 80%

:)
820 = .20 n
Looks like B to me
when it starts out with "820 is" you need to start looking for "820 ="
Can you explain how to solve 820 = 0.2 x n?
because when I solve it doesn't give the right answer
To find the percent equation that can be used to solve the problem, we need to express the relationship between the given number (820) and the unknown number (let's call it "n") using percentages.
The problem states that 820 is 20% of what number. This means that 820 represents 20% of that unknown number.
To write this as a percent equation, we can set up the equation as follows:
820 = 0.20 * n
The correct answer is therefore D, none of these. The correct percent equation should be:
820 = 0.20 * n
