Question

what is 20 percent of 135

Answer 1

20% can be written as 20/100 or 1/5. So, we want to find 1/5 * 135, which is the same as 135/5 = 27.

Answer 2

Hey!

You have to multiply 20% by 135. First change 20% to a decimal to make it easier.

To change percents to decimals, remove the % sign and move the decimal point 2 places to the left.

$20 \% \rightarrow 0.2$

Now multiply by 135

$0.2 \times 135 = 27$

That means your answer is 27

Good luck and hope this helps!
