Sure! Let's solve the given problem step-by-step.
We need to find a number such that [tex]\(20\%\)[/tex] of that number equals 20. Let’s denote the unknown number by [tex]\(x\)[/tex].
Step 1: Write down the information given in the problem.
- [tex]\(20\%\)[/tex] of [tex]\(x\)[/tex] equals 20.
Step 2: Write the equation representing this relationship.
[tex]\[0.2 \times x = 20\][/tex]
Step 3: Solve for [tex]\(x\)[/tex].
To isolate [tex]\(x\)[/tex], we need to divide both sides of the equation by 0.2:
[tex]\[
x = \frac{20}{0.2}
\][/tex]
Step 4: Calculate the right-hand side of the equation.
[tex]\[
x = 100
\][/tex]
So, the number we are looking for is [tex]\(100\)[/tex]. This means [tex]\(20 \% \)[/tex] of [tex]\(100\)[/tex] is indeed [tex]\(20\)[/tex].
Hence, the missing number is [tex]\(100\)[/tex].
