Answer:
20 represents a 40% of 50.
The percentage is 40.
The base is 50.
The amount is 20.
Step-by-step explanation:
Observe that we want to find the percentage that the number 20 represents where 50 is the total.
The fatest way to solve this problem is by dividing
\(\frac{20}{50}= 0.4\)
Then, we multiply by 100, to express it in percetange
\(0.4 \times 100\%=40\%\)
Therefore, 20 represents a 40% of 50.
- The percentage is 40%.
- The base is 50, which represents 100%.
- The amount is 20.
If we express each element, it would be
\(40\% \times 50=20\)
