How do you find X% / 20 percent of a number?

To find X% (20 %, 15$, 25 %, 30%, 50%, 75% percent or any percentage) of a number, you can follow these steps:

Step 1: Convert Percentage to Decimal: Divide the percentage value by 100 to convert it to a decimal.

Step 2: Multiply by the Number: Multiply the decimal value by the number you want to find the percentage of.

For example, to find X% of a number:

Formula:

X% of a Number = (X / 100) × Number

Similarly, if you want to find 20% of a number, you would follow the same formula:

20% of a Number = (20 / 100) × Number = 0.20 × Number

Example 1: To find 30% of 200:

Step 1: Convert 30% to a decimal: 30 / 100 = 0.30
Step 2: Multiply the decimal by 200: 0.30 × 200 = 60

So, 30% of 200 is 60.

In summary, you can find any percentage of a number by converting the percentage to a decimal and then multiplying it by the number you're working with.



Example 2 - find X% of a number: 

Find 20% of 150:

20% of 150 = 0.20 × 150 = 30

Answer: 20% of 150 is 30. 

This means that 30 is 20% of the whole value 150.
