Question

What can you multiply by to find: 50% of a number? 10% of a number? 75% of a number?

Answer 1

Answer:

1. 50% of a number

0.5

2. 10% of a number

0.1

3. 75% of a number

0.75

Step-by-step explanation:

this is because a percentage is the same as a decimal or a fraction

so 50% is 0.5 or 50/100

taking 50% of something is the same as multiplying by 50% or 0.5 or 50/100

same with 10% and 75%
