Question

How can you show that 20% of $165.00 is $33.00?

Can someone help me please thanks

Answer 1

With the definition of percentage. 20% of something means multiplying it by 20 and then dividing the result by 100. In our case,
`165.00 * 20 / 100 = 33.00`

Alternatively, convert it into a fraction. 20 is 1/5 of 100 (alternatively, you need to pick 20 five times to get 100), and then you just multiply

`165.00 * \frac15 = 33.00`

Answer 2

True

Explanation:

0.20*165=33
