Question

Find 8 and one third percent of 144

Answer 1

$\bf 8\frac{1}{3}\implies \cfrac{8\cdot 3+1}{3}\implies \cfrac{25}{3} \\\\\\ now\qquad \cfrac{\frac{25}{3}}{100}\implies \cfrac{\frac{25}{3}}{\frac{100}{1}}\implies \cfrac{25}{3}\cdot \cfrac{1}{100}\implies \cfrac{1}{3\cdot 4}\implies \cfrac{1}{12} \\\\\\ 8\frac{1}{3}\%\ of\ 144\implies \left( \cfrac{\frac{25}{3}}{100} \right)\cdot 144\implies \cfrac{1}{12}\cdot 144\implies \cfrac{144}{12}\implies 12$
