Question 1
3/4 x 96 = 3 x 24 = 72
Question 2
8.5% of 15
= (8.5 / 100) x 15
= (17 / 200) x 15
= 17 x 3 / 40
= 51 / 40
= 5.1 / 4
= 1.275
$1.28 to nearest cent

- For the first one, you just multiply fractons:
3/4 * 96 = (3*96)/4 = 288/4 = 72.
You also could have noticed that 3/4 is 75%, so you could just multiply 96 by .75 and get the same answer.

- For the second one, you must know how to express 8.5% as a decimal. In general, to change a percentage into a decimal, just move the decimal point over 2 places, so you have 0.085. Now, just multiply that by $15.00:
0.085 * $15.00 = $1.275, so after rounding, you have $1.28.
