What is 10% of 20?

Answer 1

We start by converting 10% to a fraction :

10% = 1/10

Then we have

10% of 20 = 1/10 x 20 = 1/10 x 20/1 = 20/10

Notice that 20 was rewritten as the fraction 20/1, and that to multiply two fractions together, you simply multiply the numerators and denominators.

In order to find the simplest form of the fraction 20/10 we cancel out the greatest common divisor of 20 and 10, which is 10 :

20/10 = 2/1

So the final answer is

10% of 20 = 2
Method 2

Alternately, we can convert 10% directly to a decimal :

10% = 0.1

Then, doing the calculation by hand or with a calculator, we find

10% of 20 = 0.1 x 20 = 2

So the final answer is

10% of 20 = 2
