Question

20% of 55 is what number

Answer 1

The percentage equation can be written as,

$\begin{gathered} \text{Percent}=\frac{Number}{Total}\times100 \\ \text{Number}=\frac{Percent\text{ }}{100}\times Total \end{gathered}$

We have to find 20% of 55. So, percent=20% and total=55.

Now, putting the values in equation, we get

$\text{Number}=\frac{20}{100}\times55=11$

Therefore, the number is 11.
