Whenver you encounter "%" sign in MATHEMATICS, replace it by 1/100. So, 10% becomes 10 * 1/100 = 1/10
Now multiply it with the amount you want to take the percentage of. Hence, 10% of 531.14 = 531.14 * 1/10 = 53.114

general percentage tip:

so,
What is 10% of 531.14 = (10 * 531.14)/100 = 53.114 = 53.11
where N = 10, M = 531.14
