Answer 1

To find out what percent of 500 is 20, you can use the formula:

\[ \text{Percent} = \left( \frac{\text{part}}{\text{whole}} \right) \times 100 \]

In this case, the part is 20 and the whole is 500. Therefore, the calculation is:

\[ \text{Percent} = \left( \frac{20}{500} \right) \times 100 \]

Calculating this gives:

\[ \text{Percent} = \left( \frac{20}{500} \right) \times 100 = 0.04 \times 100 = 4 \]

So, 20 is 4% of 500. The answer is 4.
