summary.....
myltiply the porcentage times the number and divide the result into 100......that is how it is done ........hope that helps!

Answer 2

First to start out with, you can use as easy as a four function caculator or as complex as scientific caculator. If you are on a computer, I sugest that you just use your computer caculator, but you don't have to.

To answer this you need to know how to do precentages on a caculator. If you don't know how to do percentages on a caculator, then I can help.

To solve the problem from the question, you multiply 2,125 by 0.06. Then you will get your answer. Your answer should be 127.5. Once you get that answer you want to subtract that from 2,125. So your problem then becomes 2.125-127.5 and then you get your answer. The answer to this problem is 1997.5.

For each kind of your percent questions you can do this. Remember to add a zero before a one digit percentage number. I hope you enjoy math as much I do. It was pleasure helping you!

Answer 3

To do percentages on a calculator, you would first convert the percentage to a decimal by moving the decimal point two places to the left. Hence, 6% is 0.06. You would then multiply that by the number you're trying to get the percentage of, hence:

6% of 2125 -->
2125 * 6% -->
2125 * 0.06 will give you your answer

Answer 4

6% of 2,125?

Okay, I will get you the way on ti-83 plus and on general calculators.

First, understanding the question,

6%= 6/100 = 0.06

second, 6% of 2,125

means 6% times 2125 or

(6/100)*2125 =

0.06*2125 =

here when you enter on ti 83 plus or general calculator is the same, just different locations for multiple button.

0.06*2125 =

127.5 =

255/2

Either answer should give you full credit.

Answer: 127.5 or 255/2

Answer 5

2,125 multiplied by .06 will give you your answer.

Think of all percentage numbers as decimals. To find 1% to 99% of a number, you convert that percentage to the numbers 0.01 to 0.99 and then multiply the number you want to find the percentage of by that decimal number.

So, in this case, you wanted to find 6% of 2,125. 6% switched over to decimal form would be .06, so you multiply that times 2,125 to get your answer.

(You can even find percentages greater than 100% this way. For 135% you'd multiply by the decimal 1.35 to get your answer. For 456%, multiply by 4.56. For 3946%, multiply by 39.46 etc.)

Answer 6

Hi,

For this question, begin by converting 6% into a decimal which is equal to: 0.06.

Now, remember the word OF means multiplication, so we need to multiply 0.06 times 2,125 or:

0.06 x 2,125 = 127.5

FINAL ANSWER: 127.5

I hope that helps you out! Please let me know if you have any other questions!

Sincerely,

Andrew

Answer 7

move the decimal over to the left 2 places. So since 6% is 6.0 move the decimal to the left twice to get 0.06. Multiply .06 and 2125 on the calculator.

Answer 8

A percent is simply a decimal number times 100. "Percent" means per hundred. So, 6% is .06. Surely, you can multiply .06 times 2125 on a calculator. If not, read the manual!

Answer 9

If you are trying to find the percent of something you need to take the percent sign...change it to a decimal point and move it two places to the left. So your 6% would change to .06 Now multiply the 2125 x .06

I think you can figure it from there Good luck :)

Answer 10

6% of 2125

2125 x .06= 127.5

2125 x 6%=127.5 (some calculators do have the % sign to make it easier Remember that 6 % = 6/100 and 6/100=.06

Answer 11

Easy.... If you have a scientific calculator(say a 'casio fx-100MS), you will find that there is a percentage sign above the equal sign.
So all you have to do is multiply 6 by 2125, then press 'shift' followed by the equal sign. You will then have your answer;
=127.5.
