Question

How do you find a percent of another number

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

This actually depends in different  problem but the way I think your talking about is the easiest way.

Problem: 80% of 385

Step 1 You will be Multiplying

Step 2. Move the decimal to the left by 2 places.

Example: 385

              x .80

              ----------

Step 3 do the problem

example:  385

                 x.80

               -----------

               308.0% is the percentage

               make sure to drop the decimal  but if there  there nothing after it don't leave it in your final answers ( some teachers mark it wrong when it really it's not wrong just improper format)
