What is 20% of 2000?

We need to find 20% of 2000.

The word "percent" means "per hundred" or "out of 100".

So 20% means 20 out of every 100.

To calculate with percentages, we first convert to a decimal.

Divide the percentage by 100:

This means 20% = 0.2

Now multiply the decimal by the number:

0.2 × 2000 = 400

So 20% of 2000 = 400

You can also think of it as a fraction:

20% of 2000 = (20/100) × 2000

= (20 × 2000) / 100

= 40000 / 100

= 400
