I'll give a practice problem to help explain it a bit better.
Here, let's try to solve 45% of of 60.
First, we convert the percentage into a decimal. To turn any percentage into a decimal you move the point two spaces to the left.
That means 45% as a decimal is .45.
Next, we multiply our number, 60, by the decimal .45.
60×.45=27.
That means 45% of 60 is 27.
To sum it all up, you have to get the percentage, move the decimal point two spaces to the left, and multiply it by the number you were trying to find the percentage of.
