Question

What is 6 1/2% of 580

Answer 1

10% of 580 is 58, so 1% must be 5.8 and 1/2% must be 2.9.

1%=5.8 so 6% must be 34.8.

6 1/2% must be 37.7

Answer 2

1/2 can also be written as 0.5, so you're asking what 6.5% of 580 is. To get 1% you divide by 100 which is 5.8. You can then multiply 5.8 by 6 to get 34.8 (6%). To get 0.5%, you halve 5.8 to get 2.9. Then, you add 2.9 and 34.8 which is 37.7, and that should be your answer! Hope this helped!
