• A. 10%
• B. 13.33%
• C. 15%
• D. 20%

Answer: (B)

To find what percentage 20 is out of 150, the formula to use is:

[

\text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{\text{Part}}{\text{Whole}} \right) \times 100

]

In this case, the part is 20, and the whole is 150. Plugging the values into the formula gives:

[

\text{Percentage} = \left( \frac{20}{150} \right) \times 100

]

Calculating the fraction first:

[

\frac{20}{150} = \frac{2}{15} \quad (\text{Dividing both the numerator and the denominator by 10})

]

Now, converting this fraction into a decimal:

[

\frac{2}{15} \approx 0.1333

]

Now, to find the percentage:

[

0.1333 \times 100 \approx 13.33%

]

Thus, 20 out of 150 is approximately 13.33% of the total. This means choosing the value that represents this calculation accurately is the correct answer.
