thanks ' again (:

OpenStudy (turingtest):

maybe it would help if we told her how to get the answer, no?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

^^ Yes ' Yes it would.

OpenStudy (turingtest):

whenever you are asked "what is x% of some number?" you take the percent, divide it by 100, and multiply it by the number in question. e.g. "12% of 20" you write 12% as 12/100 and the problem becomes\[(\frac{12}{100})\times20=2.4\]

OpenStudy (turingtest):

so in general the answer to "what is x% of N?" is\[(\frac{x}{100})\times N\]
