Find the amount when the base and percent are known

Amount = base x percent

Convert 4.6% to decimal

Remove the % symbol. Divide 4.6 by 100

4.6 / 100 = 0.046

Multiply 750 times the decimal

750 x 0.046 = 34.5

34.5 is 4.6% of 750

4.6% of 750 = 34.5

You take what you have (in this case 750) and split it into 100 equal pieces (in this case 1 piece (and 1%) is 75).

You multiply the 1% by what you want (in this case 4.6), split it up if it is easyer.
4% = 300
0.6 % = 4.5

Then add it all up (300 + 4.5) so 4.6% of 750 = 34.5

Hope that makes it clearer =D

(4.6 / 100) * 750 = 34.5

34.5

Explanation:
Since 4.6% is equivalent to 4.6/100= 0.046, you multiply 0.046 with the number 750. You will get 34.5.

4.6x750/100=
4.6x7.5=
4.5

% just means by hundreds
it's another way of writing a decimal
e.g 0.5=1/2=50%
100%=1.00
75%=0.75
25%=0.25



so 34%= 34/100=0.34

when you find a percentage of.....the OF, means multiply

example ;

to find 15% of 85

1) make the % into a decimal
so 15%=15/100=0.15 (just move the point 2 places to the left)

2) of means multiply or times

so 0.15x85=12.75


hope that helps, a lot of people find fractions tricky, but it's really just a matter of lots of practice.

Memorize:

PERCENT OF IS

_____ percent of ___________ is ___________.

_______ X _____________ = ____________


You'll always be given two of the numbers to fill in. Fill those two in, then multiply them together if they're the two on the left. Otherwise, divide the one on the far right by the other given to get the blank.
