Here we will show you two different yet similar ways of calculating 20 times 10 percent (20 x 10%). The idea is to show you different ways of calculating 20 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 20. Here is the math to illustrate:

20 x 0.1 = 2

20 x 10 = 200
200 / 100 = 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 20 times 10 percent with the answer:
