You get the method now?

Hi!
Ok, so 8.5 % is actully a decimal. So since you have to multiply the decimal by 100 to get the precent you do the exact opposite. So, you move the decimal 2 spaces to the left since there are 2 zeros in 100. (basically you are dividing) So 8.5% = .085. In Math of means multiply so you would have the equation:
.085 * 13,900
So the answer is 1,181.5
Hope that helps :-)

of in math means times. remember percents are actually decimals 'cause they're less than one. So 8.5 PERCENT is 0.085. Multiply that by 13900 and you get 1181.5
