what percent of 4 is 20? how do you figure it out?

Answer 1

if the total is 4 so 4= 100% so 20 would be 500%

Answer 2

When you say "what percent of 4 is 20?", write it out as
x% of 4 is 20.

Now, "x%" means x / 100,
"of" means multiply by,
and "is" means equals,
so, x% of 4 is 20, means :

(x / 100) * 4 = 20

Dividing each side by 4 gives :
x / 100 = 5

Multiplying each side by 100 gives :
x = 500

So the answer is 500%.

Another way of seeing this is to say that 4 is equivalent to
100%, because 4 is the number you started with and
everything else will be related to it. If you then multiply both
of these figures by 5, because they are proportional to each
other, you end up with 20 is equivalent to 500%.
Again, as another example, if you start with " 4 is equivalent
to 100%", then 2 (which is half of 4), will be equal to half of
100%, which is 50%.

Answer 3

If I'm understanding the question correctly, 20 would be 500% of 4. This is found by taking 20, dividing by 4, and multiplying times 100% to get your answer of 500%.

Answer 4

What always corresponds with the unknown
Percent is always something divided by 100
of means multiply
is means equals
so set up an equation
(x/100)*4=20
x/100=20/4
x/100=5
x=500
so, 20 is 500 percent of 4

Answer 5

4 / 20 x 100% = 20%

Answer 6

if 10% is 2, than 4% is 2.5. I figured this out by dividing 20 by 100 and then dividing ten by 4. I think its correct.

Answer 7

20/4 x 100%=500%
Thus the answer is 500% =)

Answer 8

its 20 precent because 4 is one fith of 20 and 1 fith of 100 is 20

Answer 9

Divide 4 by 20 for percent, then multiply by 100

pct = (4/20)*100
pct = (0.2) * 100
pct = 20%
.

Answer 10

20%
4 divided by 20 = 0.2 then move your decimal two places to the right to get the percentage.
