OpenStudy (anonymous):

sentence

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thisis how i would have it if this is your write research: 20% of adult makes weight comes from his bones.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You should write out the percentage, instead of using numbers. Like this: Less than twenty percent of an adult male's body weight is from his bones.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i thought you wont have to write out the twenty

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Writing out the "twenty" is OK, as well as using the numbers. But, "percentage" should be written out. Percentages and recipes. With everyday writing and recipes you can use digits, like “4% of the children” or “Add 2 cups of brown rice.” In formal writing, however, you should spell the percentage out like “12 percent of the players” (or “twelve percent of the players,” depending on your preference as explained in point three). http://www.dailywritingtips.com/10-rules-for-writing-numbers-and-numerals/
