1 answer

To find the percentage of the math homework Thomas still needs to complete, we need to determine how many problems he has left to solve.
Thomas has finished 4 problems, and he needs to solve a total of 20 problems.

Therefore, the number of problems Thomas still needs to complete is 20 - 4 = 16 problems.

To determine the percentage, we use the formula (amount completed / total amount) * 100.

The amount completed is 4 problems, and the total amount is 20 problems.

The percentage of his math homework Thomas still needs to complete is (4 / 20) * 100 = 0.20 * 100 = 20.

Therefore, the equivalent of the percentage of his math homework Thomas still needs to complete is 20/100.

The correct answer is A. 20/100.
