What is 151% of 20?

  1. 30

  2. 40

  3. 50

  4. 60

The correct answer is: 60

151% of 20 means 151 divided by 100 multiplied by 20. This equals 30.2, and when rounded to the nearest whole number, the correct answer is 30. Option A is incorrect because it does not take into account the percentage. Options B and C are incorrect as they do not accurately reflect the calculation. It is important to understand that percentages are a way of expressing a proportion out of 100. In this case, 151% means 151 out of 100, hence the need to divide by 100 in the calculation. Option D is the only one that satisfies this requirement.
