you change them to fractions and multiply.
1/2 of $60
=1/2*60
=60/2
=$30
20% of $40
=20/100*40
=1/5*40
=40/5
=$8
hope that helps! =)

$60.00 X (1/2) = $30
$40 X 20% = 8

1/2 of 60 is 30. 1/2 tells you to divide the number by 2.
20% of 40 is 8. Because 20% is .20. So multiply 40 by 2 (80) and then move the decimal point one spot to the left (to make the 2 a .2). So the 80 becomes 8.0.

1/2 of $60 - all you have to do is divide. you can use a calculator if you want, just take 60 divided by 2, and you will get 30.
20% of $40 - the decimil moves, making the equation look like .20 x 40, you multiply to get your answer. But don't worry about learning math that is too far ahead of you- you will get to it in school when you are a little bit older. And by then you can just ask your teacher.

1/2 $60.00 = $30.00
20% $40.00 = $8
20 % of $40 is 20 multiplied by 40 divided by 100.
Example: 30% of $210 is 30 multiplied by 210 divided by 100 = $63

The easiest way to figure out fractions and percentages is to turn them into decimals and then multiply it with the other number given.
1/2 is the same as 1 divided by 2, which equals .50
So:
.50 * 60 = 30.
20% is the same as 20/100 which equals .20
So:
.20 * 40 = 8

Open up the Calculator program on your computer.
For the first one, type in: .5x60 and press enter.
.5 = 1/2 so that will work
For the second one, type in .2x40 and press enter to get the answer
20% is the same thing as 20/100, which is .2
It's probably not your fault that you hate math, perhaps your teachers are not as engaging as they could be.

half of $60 is $30
20% = 1/5, a fifth of $40 is $8

Okay, the first is easy. Just divide 60 by 2, and you've got it.
For the second, just multiply 40 x .2 and you'll get your answer.
