what is 70% of 480?
Did I do this right?
A/480 = .70/100
480 x .70 = 366
So 366 is 70% of 480???

Find the amount when the base and percent are known
Amount = base x percent
Convert 70 % to decimal
remove the % symbol. Divide 70 by 100
70 / 100 = 0.7
Multiply 480 times the decimal
480 x 0.7 = 336
The amount is $ 336
$ 336 is 70% of $ 480

percent multiplied by the base number gives you the amount
therefore:
.70 times 480= 336
so 336 is 70% of 480

480 x 0.70 is 336, not 366
So 336 is 70% of 480.
Your method was correct, but you just had that one calculation error.
