How do you figure out 75% of 500 dollars?

Question

Is there some easy way or equation so I can apply the equation to diff numbers? Thanks

Answer 1

just do
500*75/100

let the money for which u want to find out 75%= Y
then the equation would be
75*Y/100 ----------- equation 1
=> 3*Y/4

If u want equation for any other percentage just replace 75 frm equation 1 to that required amount
For eg:- 30 % of 500
then the equation wud be
30*500/100

Answer 2

75% means that you take $75 out of each $100.

Since $500 = 5 x $100 (there are 5 sets of $100)

Remember that for each set of $100, you get $75.

So for 5 sets, you have

5 x $75 = $375


The standard way of doing it though is,

75% of $500 = (75/100) x $500

which gives (3/4) x $500 = $375

Answer 3

75% of a number is 3/4th of that number. So, just multiply any number desired by 3/4th. In this case,

500 X 3/4 = 1500/4 = 375 dollars

Answer 4

find the amount when the base and percent are known.

convert 75% to decimal.

remove the % sign. divide 75 by 100

75 / 100 = 0.75

multiply 500 by the decimal

500 x 0.74 = 375

The amount is 375

$ 375 is 75% of $ 500

Answer 5

well, if you want to do it in your head...think, well, 75 percent of 100 dollars is 75 dollars. so ill multiply 75 by 5 to get 75 percent of 500. um, 5x5 equals 25, carry the 2, 35 plus 2 is 37 so 375 is 75 percent of five hundred dollars.

Answer 6

500 x .75

Answer 7

% means over 100, so
75%= 75/100 or 0.75

you then times that to 500
500x 0.75 = 375 dollars

Answer 8

x% of y = xy/100, so..

75*500/100 = 75*5 = 375

Answer 9

Out of 100 $ it is = 75
Out of 1 $ it is = 75/100 =0.75
Out of 500 $ it will be = 500 * 0.75 = 375.00

Answer 10

in this example:
500 x 75/100= 375 dollars

equation:
a% of B
a & B can be any figure.
B x a/100=?
u can get any ans using this equation.
