This question is incomplete. Hereis the complete question:
Which of the following options have the same value as 65% of 20 ?
(A) 0.65⋅20 (B) 65/100 divided by 20 (C) 65/20 * 100 (D) 65 * 20
Answer:
The correct answer is option (A) 0.65⋅20
Explanation:
In this case they are asking us for an expression that is equivalent to 65% of 20. They are not asking us what is the value of that operation.
When we do a percentage calculation we can do it in two ways.
Let's see each one of them:
. (65 * 20): 100 =
1300: 100 = 13
. 0.65. 20 = 13
As we can see both ways we get the same result.
Given this information we can say that the correct answer is option A.
