of means to multiply

.35 * 68000 = 23800

Answer 2

Taking percentages is like multiplying by a decimal.
35% of 100 is 35. This comes from multiplying 100 by 0.35.

Do the same problem but multiply 68,000 by 0.35

Rather long multiplication problem, but here is how I would do it:

Think of 35% of 100. That's 35
Now think 35% of 1,000.... 350
35% of 10,000? 3,500
How many 10,000's are there in 68,000? 6.8
So 35% of 68,000 must be 6.8 x 3,500

23,800

Hope that helps

Answer 3

Read the question out loud and substitute the following:
let "what" equal x
The word "is" is an equals sign =
"of" means multiply
(I think you know 35% = .35)
x = .35 x 68,000
what is 35% of 68,000

Answer 4

Microsoft Calculator =D 23,800 68,000 / 35%

Answer 5

first do 68,000 divided by 100 that equals 680 than multiply by 35 you get that number from the percentage now you have 23,800

Answer 6

to get the answer you have to do cross multiply and divide.
to set up the equation you go
35
------ = -------
100 68000

to get the answer you times 35 by 68000 then you divide that answer by 100 and the answer is 23800.

so all you do is put 35 over 100 because that is percentage and then you put 68000 on the bottom because thats what its out of. then you cross multiply and the get your answer thaen you divide by 100.
