hom much money is 8.5%?

Answer 1

it could be eight and one half cents ...like Houston Texas has an 8.5% sales tax on the taxable item you purchase . you multiply the purchace price time the percent and you can figure out what it will cost with tax

Answer 2

8.5% of $1.00 is eight and one-half cents...of $2.00 is $.17...of $3.00 is twenty-five and one-half cents, etc. 8.5% of $100.00 is $8.50, etc.

You didn't indicate 8.5% of what amount so to calculate it you take your total sum of money times.085 to arrive and how much money is 8.5%.

If you already know the "figure" that the 8.5% equals but need to know what amount that is 8.5% of then you take the "figure" and divide it by .085 to determine the total amount of money.

You may want to add more information to your question since it's not really complete, therefore making it difficult to provide clear examples.
