Answer 1

change the percentage to a number by moving the decimal two place to the right or by dividing by 100. Then times the number that you want the percentage of. For example, 20% of 50. Change the percent - .2 * 50. The answer is 10.

Answer 2

Move the decimal two places to the left for the percentage number. (i.e. 150% = 1.50, 125%= 1.25, 112.5%= 1.125 etc.) Then multiply the two numbers together.

#1: 1.50*24 = 36
#8: 10.00*60 = 600

Keep in mind that 100% of some number is that same number. (i.e. 100% of 50 = 1.00* 50 = 50) So if you are asked to take a percentage greater than 100%, then the answer should naturally be bigger than your original number.

Answer 3

Ok this is easy. 1.) 36 2.) 50 3.) 88 4.) 21 5.) 90 6.) 140 7.) 25 8.) 600 9.) 39.9 10.) 110 11.) 18 12.) 49.998

Answer 4

Take the percentage and convert it by dividing it by 100. For example in #1 (150% dividided by 100 equals 1.5). Now thake that number (1.5) and multiply it by the number that you are taking it out of (24). 1.5 x 24 = 36. Do that for all of them and you'll have your answers.

Answer 5

to get a percentage of a number, move the decimal two spaces to the left in the percentage. then just multiply by that number.

good luck!!

Answer 6

1) okay you would take 150% and to change it to the whole number move the decimal to the left ....1.50.....and then you would times that by 24

1.50 x 24


hope that helps!
