To find the percentage of students who have not turned in their permission slips, you need to subtract the percentage of students who have turned in their permission slips from 100%.
Here's how you can calculate it:
1. Determine the percentage of students who have turned in their permission slips. In this case, it is given that 4/5 of the students have turned in their permission slips. To convert it to a percentage, divide the numerator (4) by the denominator (5) and multiply by 100: (4/5) * 100 = 80%.
2. Subtract the percentage of students who have turned in their permission slips from 100%: 100% - 80% = 20%.
Therefore, the correct answer is B. 20%.

To find the fraction of Bos's earnings that he saves each month, you need to subtract the percentage of money he spends from 100%, and then convert that value to a fraction.
Here's how you can calculate it:
1. Determine the percentage of money Bos spends each month. It is given that Bos spends 90% of his earnings. To convert it to the percentage of money he saves, subtract it from 100: 100% - 90% = 10%.
2. Convert the remaining percentage to a fraction by putting it over 100: 10/100.
Therefore, the correct answer is A. 1/10.

To express 20% of 10 sandwiches as a fraction, you need to divide the percentage by 100 and simplify the fraction.
Here's how you can calculate it:
1. Convert 20% to a decimal by dividing it by 100: 20/100 = 0.2.
2. Simplify the decimal to a fraction. Since it is 0.2, you can write it as 2/10.
3. Simplify the fraction by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor, which in this case is 2: 2/10 รท 2/2 = 1/5.
Therefore, the correct answer is D. 1/5.
