Answer 1

Percentages can always be written as fractions of 100.
55 percent can be written as (55/100). So:

(55/100) x $1,739.56 = $956.76

Answer 2

It should be 1,739.56 divided by 100 which will give you 1 percent multiply it by 55 will give you 55%

on a calculator just punch in the number 1739.56
press the Multiply sign
punch in 55 and followed by the % sign

Answer 3

If you want to get better at math, don't go around thinking to yourself "I suck at math"! Math's a learnable skill.

Answer 5

Answer 6

To rephrase your question, you want 55¢ for every dollar and a proportionate amount for any part of a dollar. since there are 1,739 dollars, multiply 1,739 by .55 to get $956.45. To this, add 56¢ multiplied by .55 to get $.308.

Add $956.45 to $.308 to get $$956.758.

Round up to $956.76.
