What is 2 times 10 percent?

Here we will show you two different yet similar ways of calculating 2 times 10 percent (2 x 10%). The idea is to show you different ways of calculating 2 times 10 percent so you will have a good understanding of the underlying process of multiplying any number with any percent.

We start by converting 10 percent to a decimal number by dividing 10 by 100 and then we multiply that decimal number by 2. Here is the math to illustrate:

10 / 100 = 0.1
2 x 0.1 = 0.2

The reason we divide 10 by 100 above is because 10 percent means per 100. You can actually divide by 100 after you multiply 2 by 10 and get the same answer. Again, here is the math to illustrate:

2 x 10 = 20
20 / 100 = 0.2

The key is to remember is that "percent" in 10 percent means per hundred and you have to adjust for that with problems like this. To summarize, here is 2 times 10 percent with the answer:

2 x 10 percent = 0.2
