What is 2% of $5,100 and how do you find the answer?

Answer 1

do your own homework!

Answer 2

to change a percent into a decimal, move the . two places to the left. So, 2% would be .02. Multiply .02 and 5,100. The answer would be 102.

Answer 3

Since percentage basically means 1/100th of (whatever,) 2% would be 2/100ths. The math book answer is to multiply 5,100 x .02, but I usually move the decimal point over 2 places to the left (5100. to 51.00) and double it (hence $102) or 51 x 2.

Answer 4

change the 2% to a decimal by moving the decimal 2 spaces to the left which is .02 and multiply the $5,100 by the .02 and you get the answer.

Answer 5

first change the percent to decimal so that it will be easier for you to use it. 2 percent stands for "2." move the dot twice to the left... so from 2., it will now become .02

then 5,100 x .02 = $102

Answer 6

1) change the percentage into a decimal by changing the % into a .(decimal) and moving it 2 spaces to the left. so then 2% would become .02

2) multiply .02 by 5,100 so that would be
5,100
* .02
-----------
10200
0000
----------
10200
102.00 then add the decimal
so the answer is 102

Answer 7

multiply 5100 by .02 which is 2 percent in decimal form. After multiplying add the decimal point two places to the left in your awnser.
5100 x 02 = 10200 then add your decimal point two places to left and your awnser is 102.00 or 102.

Answer 8

$102.

one percent is 51 times 2

Answer 9

the answer is 102 and it by times 5100 by .02 because .02 is 2%

Answer 10

In word problems, "of" usually means multiply.
2% means 2 out of 100. Converted to decimal is 0.02.

5100 x 0.02 = $102

keep doing these kinds of problems over and over and you'll get it, keep studying.

Answer 11

"per cent" is latin and means "of hundred"

so you can divide the USD 5100 by 100 and multiply by 2 - that's USD 102.
