How do you simplify 23.55 x 2.8%?

1 Answer

Nov 28, 2016

23.55 x 2.8% = 0.6594

Explanation:

"Percent" or "%" means "out of 100" or "per 100", Therefore 2.8% can be written as $\frac{2.8}{100}$ $2.8/100$ .

Finally, lets call the number we are looking for "n".

Putting this altogether we can write this equation and solve for $n$ $n$ while keeping the equation balanced:

$n = 23.55 \times \frac{2.8}{100}$ $n = 23.55 xx 2.8/100$

$n = \frac{65.94}{100}$ $n = 65.94/100$

$n = 0.6594$ $n = 0.6594$
