What is 20% of 90?

We can solve this problem by using two proportions. The first proportion will be the percent we are looking for: 20% or 20/100.

The second proportion will have the number we are looking for, or N, as a numerator and the whole number 90 as a denominator: N/90

To solve the problem, we cross multiply.
