1/5% of 116

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what does 1/5% mean? i have never seen something like that

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If it means 0.2%

OpenStudy (anonymous):

does it mean one fifth of one percent?

hero (hero):

lol satellite are you sure?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The answer would be 0.232

OpenStudy (anonymous):

really? a fraction and a percent mixed? weird.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\(.002\) maybe?

hero (hero):

I've seen it before. I don't like it, but I'm surprised you've never seen it before.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It means 0.2%

hero (hero):

0.2% = .002

hero (hero):

So .002 x 116 = 0.232

OpenStudy (anonymous):

25 % of 200 is = 50 Here 25% does not means .25. It is just 25

hero (hero):

What are you talking about? 25% does not mean just 25

OpenStudy (anonymous):

When we say 100% does it mean (100/100=1) or Just 100

hero (hero):

yes 100% = 100/100 = 1 You are correct. Good observation. % literally means "per hundred". The "per" indicates division. Just like miles per hour mean m/h

hero (hero):

That's why if you get 20/20 on a test you get a 100% Because 20/20 = 1 and 1 = 100%

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Percentage formula : (is/of)*100 When i score 100/100 is=100 & of=100 percentage = (100/100) * 100 = 100 So when we say 100% it only means 100

OpenStudy (anonymous):

In your case Percentage(%) = (20/20) * 100 = 100%

OpenStudy (anonymous):

In your case Percentage(%) = (20/20) * 100 = 100%

OpenStudy (anonymous):

25% of 200 = (25*200)/100=50 100% of 20 = (100*20)/100 = 20 (1/5)% of 116 = (.2*200)/100=0.232
