What decimal representation corresponds to 20%?

0.20
0.25
0.75
0.50

The correct answer is: 0.20

The correct decimal representation for 20% is 0.20 because percentages are expressed as fractions of 100. Thus, when converting a percentage to a decimal, you divide the percentage by 100. For 20%, this calculation looks like this: \[ 20 \div 100 = 0.20 \] This shows that 20% is equivalent to 0.20 in decimal form. The other choices do not represent 20%. For instance, 0.25 corresponds to 25%, which is greater than 20%, while 0.75 represents 75%, and 0.50 represents 50%. Each of these values reflects a different percentage, confirming that 0.20 is the correct decimal representation for 20%.
