Steps to find the percentage of a number

Method 1: Using Proportions

Let's find 1% of 20 using proportion.

1% is 1 out of 100.

\[ \frac{ 1 }{100} \]

Write the proportion to find x out of 20.

\[ \frac{ 1 }{100} = \frac{x}{ 20 } \]

Cross-multiply: 1 × 20 = 100x

\[ 1 \cdot 20 = 100x \]

Solve for x: (1 × 20) ÷ 100 = x

\[ \frac{ 20 }{100} = x \]

Hence, 1% of 20 is 0.2.

Method 2: Keyword-Based

Use keywords: "of" means multiply.

Convert 1% to decimal: 0.01

\[ x = 20 \cdot 0.01 \]

Multiply 20 × 0.01 = 0.2

So, 1% of 20 is 0.2.

Method 3: Formula-Based

Use the formula: percent × whole = part

Convert 1% to decimal: 0.01

\[ \text{Percentage} \cdot \text{Whole} = \text{Part} \]

20 × 0.01 = 0.2

Thus, 1% of 20 is 0.2.
