1.50 % is really the same as 1.50 / 100.
What you do is shift the decimal point to the left two places.
Thus, you have 0.0150 or simply .015
Then you just mulitply normally as:
.015 X 33.83
which ends up 0.50745
Since you are dealling with money you would round up to 0.51
So, 1.50% X $33.83 = .51

You multiply by the rate which is %/100
To convert 1.50% to a rate, move the decimal point two places to the left
Rate is .015
.015(33.83) = .50745 or 51 cents rounded

33.83 * .015
when using percents, always shift the decimal point 2 places to the left (so that the number is smaller).
