To find a percentage, all you have to do is change the percent to a decimal and multiply. To change the percent to a decimal, you have to remember that percent means 'part of one hundred', therefor when you see 15% it means '15 out of 100' which mathematically means 15 divided by 100.
Dividing 15 by 100 gives you .15.
The word 'of' is translated as multiplication mathematically. Therefor when you right '15% of 282.00' what is indicated is '15% x 282.00' which written with your knowledge of 15% as a decimal is:
.15 x 282.00
All you have to do is do that multiplication and you'll have your answer.

10% of 282 is 28.20
5% of 282 is 14.10
so 15% would be 28.30 + 14.10 = 42.30
