Explanation:

Percentage is defined as number of parts per 100.

Percentage can be expressed as a ratio (fraction) or decimal.

• 1% = 1 / 100 = 0.01

• 10% = 10 / 100 = 0.1

• 25% = 25 /100 = 1/4 = 0.25

• 50% = 50 / 100 = 1/2 = 0.5

• 75% = 75 / 100 = 3/4 = 0.75

You can use either the fraction or the decimal form to find the percentage.

This is how you apply this to questions a through d.

a. 15% of 930

• 15% × 930 = 15 / 100 × 930 = 0.15 × 930 = 139.5

b. 6% of 120

• 6% × 120 = 6 / 100 × 120 = 0.06 × 120 = 7.2

c. 4.2% of 50

• 4.2% × 50 = 4.2 / 100 × 50 = 0.042 × 50 = 2.1

d. 200% of 145

• 200% × 145 = 200 / 100 × 145 = 2 × 145 = 290
