To find 20% of 300,000, you can use the following formula:
\[ \text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{Part}}{\text{Whole}} \right) \times 100 \]
In this case, the ‘Part’ is what we are trying to find, and the ‘Whole’ is 300,000. The percentage is 20%.
First, convert the percentage to a decimal by dividing by 100:
\[ 20\% = \frac{20}{100} = 0.20 \]
Next, multiply the decimal by the whole number:
\[ 0.20 \times 300,000 = 60,000 \]
So, 20% of 300,000 is **60,000**.
This means that if you have a total of 300,000, 20% of that amount would be 60,000.
