The playground is
% of the park.

Answer 1

To find what percent of the park is the playground, you can use the following formula:

\[
\text{Percent} = \left( \frac{\text{Area of Playground}}{\text{Area of Park}} \right) \times 100
\]

Plugging in the values:

\[
\text{Percent} = \left( \frac{80}{400} \right) \times 100
\]

Calculating this gives:

\[
\text{Percent} = 0.2 \times 100 = 20\%
\]

Thus, the playground is **20%** of the park.
