How do you find this: what is 22% of 4,242.00?

Question

I can never figure out percentages, I always forget how to do them.

Thanks in advance! :)

Answer 1

Multiply 4,242 by 0.22

Whenever you want to find a percent, move the decimal two places to the left of the percent.
22.0% of 4242 is 0.22x4242
10.0% of 4242 is 0.10x4242
15.3% of 4242 is 0.153x4242
etc.

Answer 2

4,242.00 X .22. To find a % just take the number and multiply by the percent you are looking for with a decimal before the percentage. The answer is 933.24 btw.

Answer 3

To make a percentage into a decimal, simply move the decimal point two places to the left. So 22%= .22. Then multiply 0.22 by your number.

Answer 4

I use any of this two ways:

a) 4,242.00 equals 100%
? equals 22%
Multiply 4,242.00 by 22 and divide by 100

or

b) 22% of 4,242.00=?
(.22) x 4,242.00= ?
Convert the percent to a decimal (that is, remove the % sign and move the decimal point two places to the left) and then multiply by the other number.

Answer 5

Im a high school senior and this gets me through it every time. Divide 4,242.00 by 100 and multiply the number you get by 22.

Answer 6

Ben is right.
On a calculator you could also do 4,242 x 22 and then hit the percent key, NOT equals. You'd get the same answer, 933.24.

Answer 7

you have to multiply .22 X 4,242.00 = 933.24

Answer 8

the best thing is to use a calculator...let me tell you how to do it...

22/100 x 4242 = 933.24

this is the answer...

Answer 9

Follow a simple approach.
Take 10% of the number i.e. 424
Add it twice to make it 20% (424.2+424.2) 848.4
Than take 1% of the number 42.4
Add it twice to make it 2% (42.42+42.42) 84.84
Now add both the results (848.4+84.84)= 933.24
