On the beach boardwalk, there are 20 different places to get food. Twenty percent of them are ice cream shops. How many ice cream shops are on the boardwalk?

Respuesta :

Answer:

There are 4 ice cream shops on the boardwalk.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 20% of 20 shops are ice cream shops, we can multiply 20% by 20 to get the amount of ice cream shops.

I find converting percentages to fractions easier to solve.

20%=20/100=1/5

1/5*20=20/5=4 ice cream shops

Answer:

The answer is 4 because 100 divided by 20 is 5 so you do 20÷5 which is 4.
