Change it to an equivalent fraction with a denominator of 100.
"Percent" means "per cent" ie, for every 100.

#2/20 = (2xx5)/(20xx5) = 10/100#

Any value out of 100 is automatically a percent.

#2/20 = 10%#

#10%#

To get percent of anything multiply it by 100,
#2/20 rArr 2/20xx 100#

#rArr 2 xx 5#

#= 10%#
