How do you figure 10% of $2,500.00?

Answer 1

Find the amount when the bae and percent are known

Amount = base x percent

let 2500 = base

- - - - - - - -s-

Convert 10% to decimal\

Remove the percent % sign. Divide 10 by 100

10 / 100 - 0.1

Multiply the 2500 times the decimal

2500 x 0.1 = 250

The amount is 250

250 is 10% of 2500

- - - - - - - - -s-

Answer 2

Or multiply the figure by the percent like so

2500 x 10/100(fraction)

, this will allow you to figure it out easily, like if you need 27% it would be 27/100.

Or with decimals just divide the percent by 100...

10%/100=.1(move the decimal left 2 places)....then multiply that by 2500 to get 250. Works either way just whichever way is easier for you.

Answer 3

a percent is the fraction of 100
10%is 1/10 of 100%
so multiply $2,500 by 1/10=$250
to figure out how to do this with other numbers take the percent given, and divide it by 100
example: 50%= 50%/100%=1/2
125%=125%/100%=5/4
