B2

C6

D21

Answer:

B. 2

Read Explanation:

The exact value of the expression is 2.

## Method 1: Fractional Equation

You can solve this by converting the percentages into fractions and simplifying each part.

1. Calculate the first part (20% of 5):

* "20%" means 20 out of 100: 20100\frac{20}{100}

* "Of" means multiply: 20100×5\frac{20}{100} \times 5

* Simplify the fraction: 15×5=1\frac{1}{5} \times 5 = 1

2. Calculate the second part (5% of 20):

* "5%" means 5 out of 100: 5100\frac{5}{100}

* "Of" means multiply: 5100×20\frac{5}{100} \times 20

* Simplify the fraction: 120×20=1\frac{1}{20} \times 20 = 1

3. Add the two results together:

* 1+1=21 + 1 = 2
