The answer to this is 273. There are two ways to find this.
1. You can multiply 420 by 0.65 which equals 273
and 2. you can punch 420 times 65% and you get 273 as well.

65% of x means x is multiplied by (65/100)
65% of 420 =(65*420)/100=273

65% = 65/100 = 0.65

Step 1: change percentage into a decimal.
You always do this by (1) "changing" the "%" into a decimal and moving it twice to the left OR (2) putting the number of the percentage over 100 and dividing. So
(1) 65% ==> .65
(2) 65/100 ==> .65
Step 2: Multiply the new decimal by the amount given:
420 • 0.65 = 273
So, 65% of 420 = 273 (<== Answer)
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Step 3: (OPTIONAL) Subtract the new number by the number that had been given.
(This step is useful and practical when shopping. Say you want a FlatTV that costs $420, but has a 65% discount.)
$420 - $273 (this is the 65% discount) = $147
So, you'd pay $147 - not a bad price! :-)
Hope I helped :-)

just multiply 420 by .65
420*(.65)=273

you can set up a proportion. 65/100 (65 %) is x/420.
you can then cross multiply and get 420(65) = 100x.
then solve for x.

Just multiply 420 by 0.65. Answer is 273.
The key thing to know is that 100% is just 1. 50% is just 0.50. 13% is just 0.13 and so on.
