multiply 500 by .70
if you wanted to find 75% of 500, you would do 500 X .75
If you wanted to find 7 % of 500, you would do 500 X .07
does this make sense?
Your answer for 70% would be $350.
:)
If you wanted to it mathematically, you would make an equation.
1. (X/500) = (70/100) : X out of 500 equals 70 out of 100
then multiply both sizes by 500 to get rid of the denominator on the left side, leaving X by itself.:
2. X = (70/100) * 500 : X equals 70 out of 100 times 500.
Since 70 out of 100 equals .7:
X = 500 * .7 : X = 500 times .7 (which is what I told you at the very beginning)
3. X = 350
Hope this helps!
:)

hi
70% is 70/100 so 70%of 500 = 70*500/100 = 70*5 = 350
done

70% is 70 per cent, or 70 parts out of 100.
Cent is Latin for 100.
Therefor, 70% of 500 is 70 times 5 equals...???

First, whenever you use percents in calculations, you must change them to either decimals (by moving the decimal point two spaces to the left) of a fraction (by putting the percent over 100)
Also remember the word of in the case of percents means multiplication.
So, 70% of 500 you can rewrite and solve.

As odd of an approach that this may seem to be, I realized that 70% of $500 is the same as 35% of $1000... and that is so much simpler to compute!

70%=0.7
% means 1/100 or divide the number by 100,so:
70%=70*(1/100)=0.7 or 7/10
70% of $500 means you multiply the two numbers:
70%*$500=0.7*500=$350

the "of" word = a "times" sign
so think 70 times 500
or 7 times 5
use common sense to figure out where to put the decimal .
it cant be $3.50 0r $35.00 because 70% is MOST of $500
nor could it be $3500 dollars because that is MORE than $500
so the correct nswer must be $350.00
thats how I do it.

100% of 120 would be 120 so 200% would be twice as much. So you would have to do 120*2 which equals 240. So your answer is 240.
