im having a stupid moment.......and need an answer a.s.a.p?

Question

how do u find 8.75% of 13.98???????? i know its divide but i cant remember which way.

Answer 1

multiply 13.98 x 0.0875 = 1.22325

(in math, the word 'of' means mulitply, usually by a fraction or decimal like this. For instance 1/3 of 9 becomes 1/3 x 9 = 3)

Answer 2

Whenever --% is there means out of 100 the given number.
It is just like you get 36 marks out of 40 in any subject, it is written on you paper 36/40.
In the similar way. 8.75 % means 8.75 out of 100 (sign % means 100), this can be written as 8.75/100.
Now the next word 'of ' means to multiply.
multiply by 13.98
So now your question is (8.75/100) × 13.98
If you are confused in doing decimal multiplication, remove decimals as 0.1 we write as 1/10, 0.01 is written as 1/100 in a similar way 8.75 can be written as (875/100) and 13.98 can be written as 1398/100
Therefore (8.75/100) × 13.98 = (875/100×100) × (1398/100)
to get it clear write on the paper and you get the expression as (875 × 1398)/1000000
Generally when there is 10, 100 or 1000 are in the denominator keep the denominator as such so it will be easy to write the answer in decimals.
875 × 1398 = 1223250
So the answer is 1223250/1000000 = 1.22325
