Step-by-step explanation:. The first says “I know that 10 is one-tenth of 100. I will therefore divide 50 by 10. The answer is 5”.
This is fine when the numbers are relatively simple. But suppose the numbers are more complicated.
What is 22% of 46?
Now it’s much less straightforward. You can’t just work out what 22% is, expressed as a fraction, and anyway, it’s not a simple fraction.
Instead, you have to divide 46 into 100 equal parts, and work out what 22 of them would be when added together.
So: 46 ÷ 100 = 0.46 [remember, when you divide by 100, you move the decimal point two places to the left].
0.46 × 22 = 10.12
Answer: 22% of 46 is 10.12.
Hope this helped :)
I think it is 24...Im not sure tho
I can solve with 2 methods:
I. Because the discount is 15 % of 18 $ , the price will be (100-15=85) 85 % of 18 $
18*85/100= 15,3 $ ( the sale price)
II. The discount is 15 % of 18$
15*18/100= 2,7$ ( the discount)
then I decrease it from the regularly price
18$-2,7$=15,3 $ (the sale price)
Personally I believe the first is an easier method.
I hope you understand and you can apply this in every similary problem.
