What is 20% of 50?

To calculate 20% of 50, we start by understanding the concept of percentages. A percentage represents a fraction of 100; thus, 20% signifies 20 out of every 100.

To find 20% of 50, we can use the following formula:

Percentage×Whole Number=Part\text{Percentage} \times \text{Whole Number} = \text{Part}

In this scenario, the percentage is 20%20\%, and the whole number is 5050. The first step is to convert the percentage into a decimal by dividing it by 100100:

20%=20100=0.220\% = \frac{20}{100} = 0.2

Next, we multiply this decimal by the whole number:

0.2×50=100.2 \times 50 = 10

Therefore, we find that 20%20\% of 5050 is 1010. This method can be applied to determine any percentage of any whole number. Just remember the key steps: convert the percentage to a decimal by dividing by 100100, and then multiply by the whole number. This straightforward approach allows you to find the portion of the whole that the percentage represents.
