Answer 1

100℅ -- 78℅

1℅ -- 78℅ ÷ 100%

= 0.78%

20% -- 0.78% × 20 = 15.6% = 16 (Round to 1 decimal place)

Answer 2

The correct answer is B) 16.

Explanation:

In order to figure out the percentage of a number, turn the percentage into a decimal. In this case, the decimal would be 0.78. Then, multiply that number by 20 which should give you 15.6. Since we cant leave the answer like this, we round. 6 is greater than 5 so we round up to 16.

hope this helps:)
