1 answer

To find 20 percent of 92, you can use the expression:

\[ 0.20 \times 92 \]

This is equivalent to \( \frac{20}{100} \times 92 \), which simplifies to \( \frac{1}{5} \times 92 \).

Among the given options:

  • "One-fifth times 92" is the correct choice, as it directly corresponds to \( \frac{1}{5} \times 92 \), which is equal to 20% of 92.

The other options do not correspond to 20 percent:

  • "StartFraction 1 Over 20 EndFraction times 92" is not correct.
  • "One-half times 92" represents 50% of 92.
  • "One-fourth times 92" represents 25% of 92.

So, the correct expression is:

One-fifth times 92.
