We need to determine which of the given options represents $\(\mathbf{2 0 \%}\)$ of $\(\mathbf{2 0}\)$.
Step 1: Understand the Question
The phrase "20th \% of 20" is interpreted as 20 percent of 20.
Step 2: Calculate 20\% of 20
To find $20 \%$ of 20 :
$$
\(20 \% \times 20=\frac{20}{100} \times 20=0.20 \times 20=4\)
$$
Step 3: Analyze the Options
Let's evaluate each option:
- A: $\(4 \rightarrow\)$ Matches our calculation.
- B: $\(1 \rightarrow\)$ Incorrect.
- C: $\( \frac{1}{100} \)$\( \rightarrow\)$ This is 0.01 , which is incorrect.
- D: $\(0.1 \rightarrow\)$ Incorrect.
- E: \$\(0.01\\)$ $\(\rightarrow\)$ Incorrect.
Step 4: Verify the Interpretation
The problem mentions \$\( 20^\{|text\{th\}\} \%\\)$, which could be a typographical error. If it was intended to mean $\(0.20 \%\)$ of 20 , the calculation would be:
$$
\(0.20 \% \times 20=\frac{0.20}{100} \times 20=0.002 \times 20=0.04\)
$$
However, none of the options (A-E) match 0.04. Thus, the most plausible interpretation is 20\% of 20, leading to the answer 4 (Option A).
Final Answer is A
