Question

if 20 percent of a number is 0.02 find the number​

Answer 1

Answer:

let the required number be x

according to question,

20% of x = 0.02

=

$= > \frac{20}{100} \times x = 0.02 \\ = > 20x = 100 \times 0.02 = 2 \\ = > x = \frac{2}{20} = \frac{1}{10} = 0.1$

so, the required number is 0.1

Answer 2

Let x be the number,

20/100 * x  = 0.02

x = 0.02 * 100/ 20 = 2/20 = 0.1
