Can someone please tell me what is 20% of 8,420? I'm terrible at math. Thanks!?

Answer 1

It's 1,684.

Here's how: One "percent" of anything is 1/100 of that 'anything.' To get 20% of anything means "multiply that 'anything' by 20/100."

O.K. So 20% of 8,420 = (20/100) x 8,420 = (2/10) x 8,420

= 2 x 842 = 1,684.

QED

That wasn't so bad, was it?

Answer 2

April, while the other answers are right, let's take a different look at your question. What is 10%, or 1 tenth of 8,420? Simple, move the decimal point 1 place to the left. Your number could be written as 8420.0, so to move the decimal 1 place to the left now makes it 842.00. To get the 20%, just double the 842.00, or just add another 842.00 to it to give the 20% answer. If nothing else, learn to see the 1 tenth of something, and then multiply that by the first number of the percentage. For 20%, 1 tenth times 2, 30%, the 1 tenth answer times 3, and so on as is needed.

Answer 3

You first convert the percentage to a decimal:
20% divided by 100 = 0.2
and then multiply by 8420
8420*0.2 = 1684

Answer 4

20 divided by 100 multiplied by 8420= 1684

Answer 5

20 divide by 100 multiply by 8420 = 1684

Answer 6

20 /100 x 8420 = (1/5) x 8420 = 1684

Answer 7

1684

Answer 8

I always used to struggle with percentages till mu teacher showed me a really easy way.

1st you need to find out what 1% of 8420 is so take 8420 and devide it by 100

8420 / 100= 84.2 so 1% of 8420 is 84.2

You need to know what 20% is so you times your answer by 20

84.2 x 20= 1684 so 20 % of 8420 = 1684

Remember........the whole amount devided by 100, then times the percentage you need to know should always give you the right answer.


hope this helps in the future hun x

Answer 9
