how do you work out percentage? e.g. 20% of 95? please give a specific answer.?

Answer 1

1% of 95 is 0.95 (divide by 100). Therefore 20% is 20 X 0.95 = 19.

Answer 2

95 X .20 = 19

Answer 3

First of all there are two preliminaries.

1. 20% is just shorthand for 20 divided by 100 i.e. 20/100

2. In this context 'of' just means 'multiplied by' so for example:
half of three = 1/2 * 3 and 35% of 23 = 35/100 * 23

So, to get back to the question, '20% of 95' is really just another way of
saying 20/100 * 95

so 20% of 95 = 20/100 * 95/1 = (20*95)/100 = 1900/100

Now cancelling the factor of 100, we get 1900/100 = 19

This isn't the simplest method to use for this particular example but this method can be used on any similar question that may have more awkward numbers (e.g. 76% of 38) and hopefully it helps you to understand what everything means and what is going on.

Answer 4

Let P =20%
A =95
ans =(P/100) x A
=(2O/100) X 95
=19

Answer 5

95 x 20 = 1900
1900 / 100 = 19

Answer 6

You write out 20% as

20/100

you then work out that amount "of" 95.. or multiplied by 95:

20/100 x 95 = 19

Answer 7

20% of 95
= (20/100) x 95
= 19

Always convert the percentage to a fraction first by dividing it by 100. Then multiply it to the value.

Answer 8

divide 95 by 100 then times by 20

Answer 9

20% of 95 =
20/100 x 95 = 19(ans)

Answer 10

20% means 20/100

45% means 45/100

so you multiply by the number of % and divide by 100

so 20% of 95

=95 x 20/100

=19

Answer 11

95 divide by 100 x 20
