Answer 2

Here is how you find percent.
Take your number, any number. Say 125 :)
If you need 15 percent, you would go.

0.15*125

this will give you 15% of 125.

if you need 50% of 100

0.5*100
will give you 50% of 100

Alternitivly, if you want a quick easy way of getting 10% out of a number, simply move the deimal place over one. Example:

10% of 100 = 10

because 100.0
move the decimal over
10.00

Hope this helps!

Answer 3

Are you going to lose 15% of your 125 lbs?
Remember that % means parts in 100. There are 2 zeros in 100. So move the decimal two places to the left and multiply. To go from decimal to percent, move the decimal two places to the right.
To cut down on errors, Make an estimate in your head of about what the answer should be. This cuts down on dumb errors that may be hard to find later.
