Question

What is 35% of 35? please included how you got it!!

Answer 1

$\huge\boxed{12.25}$

First, convert the percentage to a decimal. You can do this by moving the decimal place two places to the left.

$35\%\longrightarrow0.35$

Now, simply multiply that decimal by $35$ using a calculator.

$0.35*35=\boxed{12.25}$

Answer 2

Answer: 12.25

Step-by-step explanation: Well percent means over 100, so we can set up an equation for this problem by reading it from left to right.

What means x, is means equals, 35% is 35/100, of means times, and 250 means 250. So we have the equation x = 35/100 · 35.

Simplifying on the right side of the equation, notice that 35/100 reduces to 7/20.

So we have x = 7/20 · 35.

Think of the 35 as 35/1.

So we can cross cancel the 35 and 4 to 7 and 4.

So we have $x = \frac{(7)(7)}{4} = \frac{49}{4} = 12.25$.

Now let's check our answer back in the original problem to see if it makes sense. We have 12.25 = 35% of 35.

Well we know that 100% of 35 is 35 so 35% of 35 should be a lot less than 35 so 12.25 seems to make sense as a pretty good answer.
